A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has paranoid schizophrenia. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend to be included in the plan of care?

Choice A reason: An overly friendly attitude may increase suspicion in a client with paranoia. A calm, neutral approach is more therapeutic. Choice B reason: Allowing the client to unwrap food items helps reduce paranoia about tampering or poisoning. This intervention promotes trust and reduces anxiety. Choice C reason: Using touch can be misinterpreted and increase paranoia or agitation. Physical contact should be avoided unless necessary for safety. Choice D reason: Rotating staff frequently can increase mistrust. Consistency in caregivers helps build rapport and reduce paranoia.
