Module 4 Exam: HESI VN TXGRP 1912COHORT(VNE 39) Question 1 1 / 1 pts A client with schizophrenia says, “I’m away for the day ... but don’t think we should play … or do we have feet of clay?” Which alteration in the client’s speech does the nurse document? Neologism Word salad Correct! Clang association Associative looseness Rationale: Clang association is the meaningless rhyming of words in which the rhyming is more important than the context of the words. A neologism is a made-up word that has meaning only to the client. Word salad is the term for a mixture of meaningless phrases, either to the client or to the listener. Associative looseness is a term used to describe schizophrenic speech in which connections and threads are interrupted or missing. Test-Taking Strategy: Knowledge of the speech patterns exhibited by the client with schizophrenia is needed to answer this question. Focus on the data in the question and note the meaningless rhyming of words. Review these speech patterns with schizophrenia if you had difficulty with this question. Cognitive Ability: Applying Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity Integrated Process: Communication and Documentation Content Area: Mental Health Question 2 1 / 1 pts 7/19/2021 Module 4 Exam: HESI VN TXGRP 1912COHORT(VNE 39) A client with schizophrenia and his parents are meeting with the nurse. One of the young man’s parents says to the nurse, “We were stunned when we learned that our son had schizophrenia. He was no different than from his older brother when they were growing up. Now he’s had another relapse, and we can’t understand why he stopped his medication.” Which response by the nurse is appropriate? Telling the parents, “Medication noncompliance is the most frequent reason that people with this diagnosis relapse.” Telling the parents, “Well, it’s his decision to take his medicine, but it’s yours to have him live with you if he stops the medication.” Asking the client, “How can we help you to take your medicine or to tell us when you’re having problems so that your medication can be adjusted?” Correct! Saying to the parents, “Your concerns are appropriate, but I wonder whether your son was having trouble telling someone that he had concerns about his medication.” 7/19/2021 Module 4 Exam: HESI VN TXGRP 1912COHORT(VNE 39) Rationale: The therapeutic response is the one in which the nurse models speaking directly to the client. This facilitates further assessment of the situation and helps elicit the causes of and motivations for the client’s behavior for both the nurse and the family. In the correct option, the nurse also seeks clarification of the degree of openness and mutuality felt by the client and his family toward each other. The nurse provides information to the family when stating that noncompliance is the most frequent reason for relapse in people with this diagnosis. However, the statement is nontherapeutic at this time because it does not facilitate the expression of feelings. The nurse uses a superego style of communication when stating, “Well, it’s his decision to take his medicine, but it’s yours to have him live with you if he stops the medication.” The content of this statement may be true, but it is nontherapeutic in that it carries a threatening message and may prevent the family from trusting the nurse. By stating “Your concerns are appropriate, but I wonder whether your son was having trouble telling someone that he had concerns about his medication,” the nurse gives approval and prematurely analyzes the client’s motivation without sufficient assessment. Test-Taking Strategy: Use your knowledge of therapeutic communication techniques and remember to focus on the client’s feelings. Also note that the correct option is the only option in which the nurse directly addresses the client. Review therapeutic communication techniques if you had difficulty with this question.

A iclient iwith ischizophrenia iand ihis iparents iare imeeting iwith ithe
inurse. iOne iof ithe iyoung iman’s iparents isays ito ithe inurse, i“We

iwere istunned iwhen iwe ilearned ithat iour ison ihad ischizophrenia.

iHe iwas ino idifferent ithan ifrom ihis iolder ibrother iwhen ithey iwere

iin ipeople iwith ithis idiagnosis. iHowever, ithe istatement iis

inontherapeutic iat ithis itime ibecause iit idoes inot ifacilitate ithe

iexpression iof ifeelings. iThe inurse iuses ia isuperego istyle iof

icommunication iwhen istating, i“Well, iit’s ihis idecision ito itake

ihis imedicine, ibut iit’siyours ito ihave ihim ilive iwith iyou iif ihe

istops ithe imedication.”iThe icontent iof ithis istatement i may ibe

itrue, ibut iit iis inontherapeutic iin ithat iit icarries i a ithreatening

i message iand imay iprevent ithe ifamily ifrom itrusting ithe

inurse. iBy istating i“Your iconcerns iare iappropriate, ibut iI

iwonder iwhether iyour ison iwas ihaving itrouble itelling

isomeone ithat ihe ihad iconcerns iabout ihis imedication,” ithe

ip’s iand iq’s ior iI’ll icall ithe ipolice ion ihim,” ithe inurse
