Question 1 of 5

A nurse in a mental health facility is assessing a client who has schizophrenia. The nurse should document which of the following as a positive symptom?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Delusions. Positive symptoms are behaviors or experiences that are added to a person's personality, such as hallucinations or delusions. Delusions are false beliefs that are not based on reality. In the context of schizophrenia, delusions are considered positive symptoms because they represent an addition to a person's usual behavior or mental state. Social withdrawal (
A), flat affect (
B), and lack of motivation (
D) are considered negative symptoms of schizophrenia, as they involve a decrease or absence of normal behaviors or emotions.
Therefore, the nurse should document delusions as a positive symptom in the assessment of the client with schizophrenia.
