Question 1 of 5

A male client with schizophrenia is demonstrating echolalia, which is becoming annoying to other clients on the unit. What intervention is best for the nurse to implement?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Escort the client to his room. Echolalia is a common symptom of schizophrenia, where the individual repeats words or phrases they hear. Escorting the client to his room provides a safe and appropriate environment for the client to engage in the behavior without bothering other clients. Avoiding recognition (choice
A) may not address the behavior and could lead to escalation. Isolating the client (choice
B) may be seen as punitive and could worsen the client's symptoms. Administering a sedative (choice
C) should be a last resort and not the initial intervention for managing echolalia.
