مريض عنده فصام يقول للممرضة: «الأصوات تقول لي إن الأكل مسموم». ما أنسب رد؟

A man with schizophrenia says, “The voices tell me the food is poisoned.” What is the best response?

1. “Then don’t eat until the fear goes away.”
2. “Are the voices right? What exactly do they say?”
3. “There are no voices; it is all imagination.”
4. “I don’t hear the voices, but they seem to scare you.”

Answer: D) “I don’t hear the voices, but they seem to scare you.”. Neither argue with nor support the hallucination: present reality gently and acknowledge the feeling, then assess for command content.
