Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Antipsychotics are the treatment of choice for shared psychotic disorders. Geodon is an antipsychotic medication. Dilantin is an anticonvulsant. Tenormin may be used in anxiety states and hypertension. Ambien is a hypnotic agent.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Clients who exhibit persecutory delusions believe that they are being conspired against, spied on, poisoned or drugged, cheated, harassed, maliciously maligned, or obstructed in some way. This delusion is not characteristic of somatic, conjugal, or grandiose subtype.
