A nurse is caring for a client who has schizophrenia and has been taking a first-generation medication for several years. The client is exhibiting jerking movements and twitching of the face and tongue. Which of the following is the client experiencing?

B. Childhood experiences of physical abuse, such as being hit with fists by a parent, can significantly contribute to the development of aggressive behaviors later in life. Research has shown that individuals who have experienced physical abuse during childhood are at increased risk of displaying aggression towards others, including their partners and children, as adults.

A. This statement is less directly related to the client's own experiences of aggression and may not necessarily contribute directly to their current behavior.

C. and D do not directly address experiences of violence or abuse and are less likely to contribute directly to the client's aggressive behavior towards their partner and child.

A. Late-onset schizophrenia typically presents with symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and social withdrawal. However, this does not differentiate it from typical schizophrenia.

B. Substance use, including cannabis use, is a known risk factor for the development of schizophrenia, particularly in individuals who are genetically predisposed to the disorder. However, cannabis use as a teenager alone does not necessarily indicate late-onset schizophrenia.

C. Paraphrenia or late onset schizophrenia generally occurs later in life and symptoms persist and intensify as the client ages. Schizophrenia is rarely diagnosed after the age of 40 and is considered late onset if diagnosed after the age of 40.

D. Family history of psychosis or schizophrenia is a significant risk factor for developing schizophrenia, including late-onset schizophrenia. However, having a family member who mirrors the client's behaviors of psychosis is not a specific finding indicative of late-onset schizophrenia.
