Answer to Question 1

B
Engaging the patient in physical activity will help distract the patient and keep the patient from focusing solely on the delusions. The patient would still be able to focus on the delusions while appearing to be reading or listening to music. The latter two activities are better addressed later in the course of treatment.

Answer to Question 2

A
The role of the psychiatric nurse today is multifocused. The psychiatric nurse must have a broader perspective on patient needs, psychiatric needs, personal needs, financial needs, and legal needs that encompass the patient's quality of life.
