The nurse is instructing the parents of a 21-year-old with schizophrenia who hears female voices. Which response by the father to the son validates that the father understands the discharge teaching?
A) The father states, "Does the woman have a name?"
B) The father states, "The woman is bad, but you are good."
C) The father states, "The voice is not real. We have talked about this before."
D) The father states, "I do not hear the voices, but what are they telling you?"
D
Feedback:
The father is most correct to state that he does not hear the voices but then ask the client to share what the voices are saying. By identifying the content of the hallucinations, the father can determine the safety of the client or if others are in jeopardy. Also, the father is correct to call the auditory hallucinations by the term "the voices."
