Q5. Mr. P (paranoid schizophrenia) is at risk to harm himself or others because of his fear and paranoid behavior. Which task can be delegated to the PNA?

  1. Checking all his personal belongings for items that are potentially dangerous
  2. Observing his interactions and behavior toward the other patients
  3. Following him around the day room to prevent occurrences of aggression toward other patients
  4. Serving his food tray and pointing out that all items are wrapped and sealed in original packaging
Show answer and explanation

Answer: D. Serving his food tray and pointing out that all items are wrapped and sealed in original packaging

Give the PNA specific instructions to point out that the food is wrapped and sealed. This should help to decrease anxieties related to fear of poisoned or tainted food. Following him around the day room is not a good strategy because it is likely to increase his suspicions and make him more anxious. Observing his interactions and checking his belongings for dangerous items should be performed by the RN. Focus: Delegation.
