Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and appears confused and has distortions in their thinking and speech patterns. Which of the following is the priority nursing intervention for this client?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Provide reassurance and comfort ensuring the client is safe. This is the priority intervention because the client with schizophrenia experiencing confusion and distortions in thinking needs immediate reassurance to manage their distress and ensure their safety. It is essential to establish a therapeutic nurse-client relationship and create a safe environment before addressing other needs.

Choices A, B, and C do not address the immediate safety and emotional needs of the client. Group activities, PRN medications, and distractions can be beneficial but should come after ensuring the client feels safe and supported.
