Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Commonly recommended lifestyle interventions for patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders include dietary changes, physical exercise, and smoking cessation. Smoking reduces plasma levels of medications, inhibiting drug efficacy, and nicotine replacement therapy has been shown to significantly improve the chances of smoking reduction or cessation in SSD patients. Patients may need repetition, reminders, and positive reinforcement for dietary teaching and changes to help offset the memory and attention deficits that come with SSDs. Nurses do not provide spiritual counseling, but can lend spiritual support to patients. Through treatment, patients learn to recognize and manage symptom triggers.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
Explanation: Nursing interventions depend on the patient's ability to concentrate and listen, retain new information, and make decisions. The patient experiencing symptom acuity associated with initial onset or relapse may experience impairment of these abilities, and this will affect the patient's plan of care. Through a multidisciplinary approach to treatment the patient will be able to develop and maintain adequate coping strategies.
