Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evaluation of a patient's progress is made based on patient satisfaction with the new health status and the health care team's estimation of improvement. For a formerly delusional patient to admit to feeling comfortable and free of being "bothered" by others denotes improvement in the patient's condition. The other options suggest that the patient is in danger of relapse.
