    RN Hesi Exit Proctored Exam

    A client with a diagnosis of schizophrenia sits in the day room and fails to interact with the staff or peers. Which intervention is best for the nurse to implement with this client?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A) Correct- this can help them structure their time, reduce boredom and anxiety, and increase their sense of control and achievement. This can also foster social interaction and engagement with the staff and peers. A schedule of planned daily activities is consistent with the principles of psychosocial rehabilitation, which is an evidence-based approach for people with schizophrenia. B) Incorrect- this may be too challenging or stressful for the client, especially if they have cognitive impairments or negative symptoms. C) Incorrect- may expose them to unfamiliar or unpredictable situations that could trigger or worsen their psychotic symptoms. D) Incorrect- it is not an intervention that directly addresses the client's current problem of social isolation.
