Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to discharge a client who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. The client asks, 'I am not sure why I need to have a relapse plan.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct response is D: A relapse plan helps your recovery by recognizing symptoms of schizophrenia and provides steps to follow if symptoms are getting worse. This response is correct because a relapse plan is crucial for individuals with schizophrenia to manage their condition effectively. It helps the client identify early warning signs of relapse, such as changes in behavior or mood, and provides specific steps to take if those symptoms worsen. By following the plan, the client can prevent a full-blown relapse and maintain stability in their mental health.
Option A is incorrect because it focuses on coping strategies rather than relapse prevention. Option B is incorrect as it pertains to living, housing, and working needs rather than relapse planning. Option C is incorrect because it erroneously suggests that a relapse plan is about hospitalization rather than symptom recognition and management.
