Question 1 of 5

A client with schizophrenia states to the nurse, 'I am a spy for the FBI. I am an eye, an eye in the sky.' Based on this information, the nurse knows that the client is exhibiting which abnormal thought process?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The repetition of words or phrases that are similar in sound and in no other way (rhyming) is one altered thought and language pattern seen in clients with schizophrenia. Clang associations often take the form of rhyming. Echolalia is the involuntary parrot-like repetition of words spoken by others. Word salad is the use of words with no apparent meaning attached to them or to their relationship to one another. Loosened associations occur when the individual speaks with frequent changes of subject and when the content is only obliquely related.
