A patient diagnosed with schizophrenia says, "Contagious bacteria are everywhere. When they get in your body, you will be locked up with other Infected people. Which problem is evident?

A. Psychiatrist: Psychiatrists focus primarily on medical and pharmacological interventions for mental illnesses. While they play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, they typically do not have the expertise in housing assistance or social services.

B. Behavioral therapist: Behavioral therapists focus on psychotherapeutic interventions to address and modify behavior. They are not typically involved in addressing social determinants of health, such as housing.

C. Social worker: Social workers are specifically trained to address social issues, including housing. They work with clients to assess their social needs, connect them with resources, and advocate for their well-being. In this case, a social worker would be instrumental in helping the client find housing resources and support.

D. Psychologist: Psychologists primarily focus on psychological assessments, therapy, and interventions. Like psychiatrists, their expertise is more centered around mental health treatment rather than addressing the social determinants of health such as housing.

A. Disturbed sensory perception: While the client is experiencing disturbed sensory perception (auditory hallucinations), the priority is to address the potential harm to others, which is better captured by the "Risk for violence: directed toward others" diagnosis.

B. Risk for violence: directed toward others: This diagnosis is the priority in this situation because the client is expressing homicidal thoughts directed toward a specific target (the president). Ensuring the safety of the client and others is the primary concern.

C. Altered thought processes: Altered thought processes may be evident in psychotic disorders, but the immediate concern is the risk of violence. Addressing altered thought processes would be part of the overall care plan, but it may not be the immediate priority in this case.

D. Risk for injury: While the client may be at risk for injury, the specific concern mentioned by the client is the potential harm to others (the president). Therefore, the "Risk for violence: directed toward others" diagnosis takes precedence.
