If proven that the client's assumptions are not true, then they are exhibiting a type of delusion called PERSCUTORY.

People who have this delusion of persecution feel that someone or a group is out to hurt them. Despite the lack of evidence, they are adamant that this is the case.

When paranoia gets acute, persecutory delusions develop. Even when confronted with contrary facts, a person's paranoid sentiments become established beliefs.

Though paranoia and persecutory delusions are connected, they are strictly distinct mental states. Exhibiting paranoia is characterized by excessive distrust and mistrust of others.

Here's how to tell the difference between paranoia and persecutory delusion:

  • Paranoid: My spouse is going to murder me, I'm afraid. I can sense it. My partner might poison me at any time. I think I need to leave the house!
  • Persecutor: My spouse is poisoning me! I'm suffering from food poisoning. My spouse is definitely killing me!

The client is to begin treatment with metformin. Which client statement requires immediate intervention by the nurse?
mojhsa [17]

Answer: 1. “I will be sure to carry a chocolate candy bar with me at all times.”

Explanation:

The metformin is a drug which is used to treat or lower the high blood sugar levels that can be seen in the case of diabetes mellitus of type 2. In this condition insulin produced by the pancreas does not allow the sugar available to the cells where it is actually required for metabolism.  

The use of chocolate candy bar should be avoided as it will nullify the effect of lowering the blood sugar levels by the metformin.

How will health goals you set now be affected in the future?
neonofarm [45]

Answer: You are more likely to reach your ultimate goal if you break it down into small, short-term mini-goals. Short-term goals are specific, daily actions or behaviors that lead you to your ultimate goal. Once you have decided on your health and fitness goal, you need to consider how you will reach that goal. Different fitness goals require different approaches. For example, weight loss requires you to regularly burn more kilo-joules than you consume.
