The patient has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and is experiencing persecutory delusions towards his uncle. His thought process is disturbed as shown by impaired problem solving, loose associations, and disordered thought sequencing. The short term nursing goal is for the patient to verbalize a decrease in delusions within 3 weeks, but the long term goal of functioning without responding to delusions was not met after 3-4 months. The discharge plan involves advising adherence to medication and therapy, providing a calm environment, educating on side effects and follow up, and encouraging family support.
