Question 1 of 5
A client on an acute mental health unit states to a nurse, 'Tie a bow. Row the boat. Now I know. Whoa! I see you, yo.' The nurse should document that the client is exhibiting which of the following speech alterations?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Clang association. Clang association refers to a speech pattern where words are chosen based on their sound rather than their meaning. In this case, the client's speech is characterized by rhyming and alliteration, such as "bow" and "row," indicating a connection based on sound rather than coherent meaning. Echolalia (
A) is the repetition of words spoken by others, which is not present here. Word salad (
B) is a jumble of unrelated words and phrases that do not make sense. Neologisms (
D) are made-up words, which are also not present in the client's speech.
Therefore, Clang association best describes the speech alteration exhibited by the client in this scenario.
