A nurse is collecting data from a client who has schizophrenia.
Which of the following client statements indicates that the client is experiencing a command hallucination?

Choice A rationale

Preoccupation with details is more characteristic of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, where individuals focus excessively on rules, order, and details.

Choice B rationale

Manipulative behaviors are a common finding in individuals with antisocial personality disorder. These individuals often use manipulation to gain control or achieve their own goals without regard for others.

Choice C rationale

Impulsiveness is a characteristic of many personality disorders but is particularly prevalent in antisocial personality disorder, where individuals often act without considering the consequences.

Choice D rationale

Splitting is a defense mechanism more commonly associated with borderline personality disorder, involving an inability to integrate positive and negative aspects of oneself or others.

Choice A rationale

Arranging a visit without the client’s consent disregards their right to refuse visitors, which is important to respect their autonomy.

Choice B rationale

Referring the sibling to the provider does not address the client’s current refusal and bypasses the nurse’s role in facilitating communication.

Choice C rationale

Informing the sibling that the client does not want visitors respects the client’s wishes and maintains their confidentiality.

Choice D rationale

Encouraging the client to visit with the sibling may pressure the client and does not respect their current refusal of visitors. .
