NCLEX-RN Exam - Question 33


A client confides to the nurse that he tasted poison in his evening meal. This would be an example of what type of hallucination?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

Gustatory hallucinations involve sensory perceptions of taste. Since the client described tasting poison, which relates directly to the sense of taste, this would be classified as a gustatory hallucination. Auditory hallucinations involve hearing, olfactory hallucinations involve smelling, and visceral hallucinations involve bodily sensations, none of which apply to the sensation of taste described by the client.
