Mental Health..Nursing Care Plan for altered perception related to thought processes?

What would be the nursing interventions and rationale?? for a mental health assignment

Resident is thinking he is the 'Son of God'

Goals:
Statements and beliefs are reality based.

Interventions:
1. Avoid arguing or attempting to disprove the delusion.
2. Observe for stressors that precipitate discussion of the delusion and help the client to avoid or eliminate these stressors.
3. Attempt to address the need that is met by the delusion, e.g., assure client of his safety.
4. Provide prescribed psychotropic medication.
5. Protect the client and others from delusional behaviors that might prove harmful.

Can you elaborate a little on this please,
altered perception as in what - what is the person's perception? What are their thought processes, how are they distorted?

Ok, well medication for a start - an anti-psychotic
there is also a great chapter in a book I got, I'll go fetch it and post an edit . . .

ok there you go, check it out, there's a whole chapter on working with voices/ delusions.

PS I work with lots of people who think they are the son of the queen . . .

Good luck
