Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a 50-year-old client who is being evaluated for late-onset schizophrenia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Age of 50 years. Late-onset schizophrenia typically presents in individuals over the age of 40, with the average age of onset being around 50 years. This is due to changes in the brain's structure and function as people age. A is incorrect because changes in personality are not specific to late-onset schizophrenia. B is irrelevant as past cannabis use does not directly correlate with late-onset schizophrenia. D is a distractor as family members mirroring psychotic behaviors is not a typical finding in late-onset schizophrenia.
