Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse overhears a client diagnosed with schizophrenia talking to herself. The client keeps stating,“The flakalas are here. The flakalas are here.” The nurse should recognize the client’s use of the word “flakala” as an example of which of the following alterations in speech?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Neologism. Neologism refers to the creation of new words or phrases by the individual that are often meaningless to others. In this scenario, the client repeatedly saying "flakalas" is an example of neologism as it is a nonsensical word.

A: Associative looseness involves a lack of logical connection between thoughts and ideas, not the creation of new words.
B: Tangentiality is a communication pattern where responses go off on a tangent rather than addressing the original question or topic.
D: Circumstantiality is when an individual provides excessive and unnecessary details, but the content is relevant.

In conclusion, the client's use of the word "flakala" is best categorized as a neologism due to its nonsensical nature.
