Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Studies have shown that there is a genetic predisposition to the development of schizophrenia. Smoking, allergies to foods, and association with others have not been shown to cause schizophrenia.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Maintaining a safe environment is the priority diagnosis. Although the client has impaired thought processes, this is not the priority diagnosis at this time. Individual Ineffective Coping and Impaired Verbal Communication are also correct diagnoses, but the key word here is priority, and this client has a potential or risk for harm to self or others.
