Ati Mental Health Proctored Exam 3
A nurse is caring for a client who has bipolar disorder. The client states, "I feel like Superman. I can do anything. I can fly home today and then become a U.S. Senator." Which of the following findings is this client exhibiting?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Reality testing refers to the ability to distinguish between what is real and what is not. The client’s belief is a symptom of grandiosity, not a lack of reality testing. B. Derealization refers to the sense that the external world is unreal or distorted, which is not the case here. C. Grandiosity is an inflated sense of self-importance and unrealistic beliefs in one’s abilities, as demonstrated by the client’s statement about being able to fly and become a U.S. Senator. D. Flight of ideas involves rapid, continuous speech with fragmented thoughts that jump from one topic to another. The client’s speech does not exhibit this pattern.
