    A newly hospitalized patient experiencing psychosis says. "Red chair out town board." Which term should the nurse use to document this finding?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Word salad refers to a jumble of incoherent words and phrases without logical connection, as seen in the patient’s statement. B. Echolalia is the repetition of another person’s spoken words, not unrelated word combinations. C. Neologism is the invention of new, made-up words, not a random string of real words. D. Anhedonia is the inability to experience pleasure, not a speech disturbance.
