Suspicious or paranoid behavior on the client's part may make the nurse feel as though he or she is not trustworthy or that his or her integrity is being questioned. The nurse must recognize this type of behavior as part of the illness and not interpret or respond to it as a personal affront. The nurse must not take responsibility for the success or failure of treatment efforts or view the client's status as a personal success or failure.
