Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
An individual, usually an unmarried woman, exhibiting clinical symptoms of erotomanic delusions believes that a person of elevated social status loves her. The delusion, which can occur suddenly, is usually of romantic or spiritual love rather than sexual love.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Individuals with delusional disorders have no insight into their condition and typically believe that others are ignorant to the true reality. The other responses imply that the client recognizes that his thinking is delusional.
