A client is admitted after the police found he had been sleeping in his car for three nights. The client says, 'My wife kicked me out and is divorcing me. It wasn't my fault I was fired from work. My wife and boss are plotting against me because I am smarter than they are.' He then pounds the table and says, 'I'm not staying here, and you can't stop me.' Which of the following should be included in the client's plan of care? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
B,C,E,F
Rationale
The client's plan should include anxiety and anger management (B) to address his emotional outbursts, appropriate housing (C) to resolve his homelessness, assault and escape precautions (E) due to his aggressive behavior and intent to leave, and suspiciousness and grandiosity issues (F) to address his paranoid and grandiose thoughts. Collateral information (A) may be useful but is less immediate, and divorce counseling (D) is premature without stabilizing his mental state.
