A delusional client has refused to eat for the past 24 hours because, he says,
"the food is poisoned." How should the nurse respond?
1
"Why do you think that the food is poisoned?"
Correct2
"You feel worried that someone wants to
poison you?" 3
"This feeling is a symptom of your illness. It's
not real." 4
"You'll be safe with me. I won't let anyone poison you."
It is important to help the client focus on feelings, and "You feel worried that
someone wants to poison you?" is the only response that helps achieve this goal.
Why questions call for a conclusion rather than an exploration of the issue; the
client may not have the answer. Although stating that the feeling is a symptom of
the client's illness is true, it is not something that the client is ready to
understand; also, it is a closed statement. "You'll be safe with me. I won't let
anyone poison you" is false reassurance and is not realistic; the client still is
concerned about what will happen when the nurse is not there.

"Don't worry. You're safe here. Are you afraid that I'll let someone hurt you?"
Correct2
"I know that these voices are real to you, but I want you to know that I don't
hear them." 3
"Tell me more about the voices. Are they male or female? How many voices
do you hear?" 4
"You need to leave this room and get your mind occupied so the voices
don't bother you anymore."
"I know that these voices are real to you, but I want you to know that I don't hear
them" demonstrates recognition and acceptance of the client's feelings and also
points out reality. "Don't worry. You're safe here. Are you afraid that I will let
someone hurt you?" provides false reassurance; the client has no reason to trust
that the nurse can provide protection. Focusing on the content of the delusion will
reinforce the delusion. Encouraging the client to focus on hallucinations tends to
strengthen and confirm them. "You need to leave this room and get your mind
occupied so the voices don't bother you anymore" denies the client's feelings and
may increase anxiety.

A client who is convinced that a mate is unfaithful exhibits delusional jealousy.
Somatic delusions concern preoccupation with the body, including complaints
of disfigurement, nonfunctioning body parts, insect infestation, and presence of a
serious illness. In a grandiose delusion, the client seeks a position of power by
expressing an exaggerated belief in his or her importance or identity. Clients with
persecutory delusions believe that they are being conspired against, spied on,
drugged, or poisoned.
