The nurse is caring for a 32-year-old patient admitted for neuropsychiatric evaluation. The patient says to the nurse, “Can’t you hear them? The voices are telling me to end it. I’m so scared.” Which response by the nurse is most appropriate?

The 22-year-old patient presented 6 weeks ago to the clinic to request a consultation for rhinoplasty. He reports his unsightly nose ruined his most recent relationship because his girlfriend would not stop staring at it; he has missed work due to embarrassment and has started to use makeup to make it look smaller. Upon assessment, the nose appears normal and proportional to his face. Psychoeducation was started and the patient has been compliant. However, he reports minimal improvement in his perception. The nurse advocates for which treatment next?
