Which nursing behavior will enhance the establishment of a trusting relationship with a client diagnosed with schizophrenia disorder?

a. Altered thought processes; call an emergency treatment team meeting. While altered thought processes are present, the urgent concern is the command hallucination directing the client to harm the psychiatrist. An emergency treatment team meeting may not provide the immediate intervention required.
b. Command hallucinations; warn the psychiatrist. This is correct because the client is experiencing command hallucinations that pose a direct threat to the psychiatrist. The nurse has a duty to warn the potential victim and ensure the safety of both the client and others.
c. Persecutory delusions; orient the client to reality. Persecutory delusions are present, but the immediate danger from the command hallucinations takes precedence. Orienting the client to reality does not address the urgent safety issue.
d. Magical thinking; administer an antipsychotic medication. Magical thinking is not the correct symptom here. Administering medication is part of treatment but does not address the immediate safety concern.

a. question the client about choices: This might seem confrontational and does not directly help the client with stressors.
b. explore problem-solving alternatives. This is the most therapeutic purpose. Providing feedback helps the client to consider different ways to address and manage their stressors.
c. express approval or disapproval of the client's thoughts: Expressing approval or disapproval is not therapeutic and can inhibit open communication.
d. give the client good advice: Giving advice is not as effective as helping the client develop their own problem-solving skills.
