Simulated
A client with schizophrenia is demonstrating echolalia, which is becoming annoying to other clients on the unit. Which intervention is best for the nurse to implement?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Escorting the client to a private area can help reduce annoyance to others without isolating or punishing the client. Isolation, sedation, or ignoring the behavior are less therapeutic.
