Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Clients who exhibit persecutory delusions believe that they are being conspired against, spied on, poisoned, or drugged. Somatic delusions demonstrate a preoccupation with the body. A client exhibiting erotomanic delusions believes that a person of elevated social status loves him or her. Grandiose delusions are present when the client believes that he or she possesses unrecognized talent or insight or has made an important discovery.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The most appropriate nursing diagnosis for this client is disturbed thought process related to misperception of environmental stimuli. Disturbed sleep pattern, risk for self-directed violence, and chronic low self-esteem would not be the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for this client.
