You are working with the parents of a young adult with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. You would teach the parents of the adult with schizophrenia that their adult child will:
 
  a. have little awareness of what goes on around him or her

Answer to Question 1

B
People who suffer from schizophrenia are usually sensitive to stress in others. Therefore, the nurse would teach the parents of an adult child with schizophrenia to indicate that the parent is in control of him- or herself. This will inevitably help the adult child.

Answer to Question 2

C
The most appropriate nursing diagnosis for the student is Body Image Disturbance. She weighs only 92 pounds but sees herself as fat and needing to lose more weight. Her perception of her body image is not consistent with the reality that she is underweight. A disturbance in body image occurs in adolescents who are struggling to cope with the transitions their bodies are undergoing.
