In planning aftercare for a client with schizophrenia and whose insurance benefits have been ex-hausted,

  1. Day hospitalization
  2. Attending a psychosocial club
  3. Living with his elderly mother
  4. Spending free time in the mall

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
A psychosocial club is organized to provide the 4 S's and is not costly to clients. 1. Day hospital-ization would not be possible because of the lack of insurance benefits. 3. This solution might fall short of stimulation and support. 4. Spending time in the mall lacks structure, socialization, and support.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Excess dopamine is responsible for symptoms of psychosis such as delusions and hallucinations. Blocking dopamine receptors will result in reduction of primary symptoms. The other options do not reflect the action of typical antipsychotic medications.
