A nurse is assisting in teaching a client who has been newly diagnosed with schizophrenia. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. Diagnosis typically occurs after 40 years of age. This statement is inaccurate; schizophrenia most commonly manifests in late adolescence to early adulthood, typically between the ages of 18 and 30. B. The need for resources increases as the disease progresses into adulthood. As schizophrenia progresses, individuals often require additional support and resources, including therapy, medication management, and community services, to manage symptoms and improve functioning. C. Co-occurring mental health illnesses are rarely diagnosed. This statement is not accurate; individuals with schizophrenia often have co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, or substance use disorders, which can complicate treatment and management. D. Life expectancy is greater than the general population. This statement is incorrect; individuals with schizophrenia generally have a reduced life expectancy compared to the general population, often due to factors such as higher rates of comorbid conditions, lifestyle factors, and suicide risk.
