SOLUTION
A practical nurse (PN) observes a client with a diagnosis of schizophrenia sitting alone, talking quietly.
The PN should approach the client in a calm and non-threatening manner, and ask if they need any assistance. It is important to be respectful and understanding of the client’s condition, and to not make any assumptions about their behavior. The PN should also be aware of any potential triggers that may cause the client to become agitated or distressed. If the client appears to be in distress, the PN should offer reassurance and support, and contact the appropriate medical personnel if necessary.
