Nursing Mental Health Homework 6

Think about a client with schizophrenia that you know about from personal, work or clinical experience, or from news media or other sources. Describe the individual.

• What are the positive and/or negative symptoms?
• What are the person’s struggles? What treatments have been tried and failed? What works?
• If you were that person, what would you like to tell your nurse about yourself, your needs, and your fears?
