A nurse is caring for a client who has schizophrenia and is experiencing a delusion. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Allowing the client to focus on the delusion may reinforce it and prevent the client from engaging in reality-based thinking. B. While managing impulses is important, it does not address the delusional thinking directly. C. Contradicting the client's delusions may increase their anxiety or cause the client to become more resistant. D. Asking the client to describe their beliefs allows the nurse to assess the delusion and may provide an opportunity to offer reality-based statements without directly confronting the delusion.
