Question 1 of 5

A nurse overhears a client who has schizophrenia talking to herself. The client keeps stating 'The muxtranks are coming. The muntranks are coming.' The nurse correctly recognizes the client's use of the word mazuka as an example of which of the following alterations in speech?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Neologism. Neologism is a language disturbance in which the individual creates new, idiosyncratic words that have meaning only to the individual. In this case, the client's use of 'mazuka' is an example of a neologism as it is a made-up word that holds significance only for the client. Clang association involves the association of words based on sound rather than meaning. Echolalia is the repetition of words or phrases spoken by others. Word salad refers to a jumble of words and phrases that lack coherent meaning or logical connection.
