You are working with the parents of a young adult with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. You would teach the parents of the adult with schizophrenia that their adult child will:

a. have little awareness of what goes on around him or her
b. benefit by the parents feeling and appearing in control of themselves
c. be in need of lifelong hospitalization in a locked psychiatric facility
d. get worse as time goes on, since psychiatry has little to offer such a client


B
People who suffer from schizophrenia are usually sensitive to stress in others. Therefore, the nurse would teach the parents of an adult child with schizophrenia to indicate that the parent is in control of him- or herself. This will inevitably help the adult child.
