Which of the following indicates sensitivity toward a client with schizophrenia?
1. Reporting a client's compliance with medication to the psychiatrist
2. Providing privacy for the client to visit with his or her family
3. Eating in the dining room with the clients
4. Providing encouragement for a client to attend groups
2
Rationale: Providing privacy for the client to visit with his or her family demonstrates that the nurse is being sensitive to the client's right to privacy. Providing encouragement for a client to attend group is a therapeutic intervention to prevent social isolation, not sensitivity. Eating in the dining room with the clients is an example of the nurse modeling positive social skills, not sensitivity. Reporting a client's compliance with medication to the psychiatrist is appropriate but is not an example of sensitivity.
