C
When a verbal message is not reinforced with nonverbal behavior, the message is confusing and incongruent. Some clinicians call it a mixed message. Positive feedback is not evident. A cultural filter determines what we will pay attention to and what we will ignore, which is not relevant to the situation presented. Data are insufficient to draw the conclusion that the patient is psychotic.
