While being interviewed, a client diagnosed with a delusional disorder states, "I have this really strange odor coming out of my

mouth. I stop to brush my teeth almost every hour and then rinse with mouthwash every half hour to get rid of this smell. I've seen so many doctors, and they can't tell me what's wrong." The nurse interprets the client's statement as reflecting which type of delusion?

The correct answer would be, Somatic Delusion.

The nurse interprets the client's statement as reflecting Somatic Delusion.

Explanation:

A delusion is an impression which a person gets about something despite the contradictions between that impression and the reality.

Somatic is something that is concerned with the body. So somatic delusion is concerned with the bodily functioning, sensations or appearance.

In this type of delusions, the patient gives extreme focus to the physical symptoms like pain, fatigue, etc.

So as described in the question, a patient feels a bad odor coming out of his mouth and for that he use to clean his teeth every hour and use mouth wash every half an hour. The patient is basically engaged in somatic delusion.

What diseases have increased public awareness of infection control over the past few years?
amm1812
Oh there have been plenty.

STI's for example including HIV (human Immunodeficiency virus) has definitely boosted the awareness of caution and avoiding risky behaviors in both sexual terms and reducing exposure to bodily fluid via blood in work, or IVDA (intravenous drug abuse) needle sharing. 

Additionally potentially dangerous and very infectious diseases like the Flu have put an emphasis on the very basic disease prevention of washing ones hands, covering your sneezes, wearing face masks during exposure, and getting vaccinated as well. 

And these are merely two examples of how hundreds of disease shaped out infection control protocols and norms.
