The wife of a client diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia asks, I've been told that my hus-band's illness is probably related to imbalanced brain chemicals. Can you be more specific? The response based on the dopamine hypothesis is:
1. An increase in the brain chemical dopamine explains the presence of delusions and hallucinations.
2. An increase in the brain chemical dopamine explains the presence of lack of mo-tivation and disordered affect.
3. Decreased amounts of the brain chemical dopamine explain the presence of de-lusions and hallucinations.
4. Breakdown of dopamine produces LSD, which in large amounts produces psy-chosis.
Question 2
A client has been admitted with disorganized type schizophrenia. The nurse observes blunted af-fect and social isolation. The client occasionally curses or calls another client a jerk without provocation.
The nurse asks the client how he is feeling, and he responds, Everybody picks on me. They fro-bitz me. The best response for the nurse to make would be:
1. That's really too bad.
2. Who do you mean when you say everybody'?
3. What difference does frobitzing make?
4. Why do they frobitz?
