(1 pts.) James is a person with schizophrenia and has delusions that the CIA is after him. He believes that everyone on the street is trying to kill him and, as a matter of fact, he has been brought to a psychologist by the police after being arrested for assaulting an elderly woman on the street whom he claimed was trying to kill him. Assuming that testing reveals that he truly is psychotic and not faking, where would a psychologist recommend he be sent?

A) a CMHC
B) a day treatment program
C) a halfway house
D) a psychiatric hospital
(my ANSWER is "D a psychiatric hospital") Am I right?

I should hope so.

Yes, your answer is correct. A psychologist would likely recommend that James be sent to a psychiatric hospital. Psychiatric hospitals provide specialized care and treatment for individuals with severe mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia. These hospitals have the necessary resources, trained staff, and secure environment to manage and stabilize individuals experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms. James's delusions and the risk he poses to himself and others indicate a need for the intensive care provided in a psychiatric hospital setting.
