ATI N200 Mental Health Exam 3 | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The most appropriate nursing strategy when caring for a delusional individual is to focus on what is happening in the here and now (choice
B). This approach helps to ground the individual in reality and reduce the influence of their delusions. By focusing on the present moment, the nurse can help the individual stay connected to their immediate surroundings and potentially decrease the intensity of their delusions. Asking open-ended questions (choice
A) may inadvertently reinforce the delusions by allowing the individual to elaborate on their false beliefs. Assuming knowledge of what is meant when the client talks about 'they' (choice
C) can contribute to confusion and misinterpretation. Limiting contact to one or two short interactions daily (choice
D) may not provide enough support and intervention for the individual's needs.
