Correct Answer: B,D,E

Rationale: The '3' findings that should indicate to the nurse that the client is experiencing negative symptoms related to their schizophrenia are: B. Lack of motivation; D. Lack of energy; E. Withdrawn. Negative symptoms in schizophrenia involve deficits or reductions in normal emotional and behavioral functioning. In the provided nurse's notes: Blood pressure: Blood pressure is not mentioned in the nurse's notes, and it is not directly indicative of negative symptoms in schizophrenia. B. Lack of motivation: The client refusing to eat or drink, not engaging in conversation, and not wanting to go to therapy sessions are indicative of a lack of motivation, which is a negative symptom. C. Change in behavior: While there is a change in behavior mentioned in the notes (refusing to eat or drink, not engaging in conversation), the specific behavioral changes described are more closely associated with negative symptoms. Negative symptoms involve a reduction or loss of normal functions. D. Lack of energy: The client's slow movements and desire to sleep suggest a lack of energy, another negative symptom associated with schizophrenia. E. Withdrawn: The client's withdrawal from social interaction, as evidenced by not engaging in conversation and wanting to sleep, is characteristic of withdrawal, which is a negative symptom.
