Think about a client with schizophrenia that you know about from personal, work or clinical experience, or from news media or other sources. Describe the individual.

• What are the positive and/or negative symptoms?
• What are the person’s struggles? What treatments have been tried and failed? What works?
• If you were that person, what would you like to tell your nurse about yourself, your needs, and your fears?

Please provide evidence from professional sources to support your information. Include examples of your prior experience with a client who was having a problem with delusions and/or hallucinations.
