A nurse is caring for a client who has been newly diagnosed with schizophrenia. Which of the following findings is true regarding this disorder?

A. People diagnosed with schizophrenia are more violent than others. Research indicates that individuals with schizophrenia are not inherently more violent than the general population. They are more likely to be victims of violence rather than perpetrators, especially if they have co-occurring substance use disorders. B. Biologically male clients are typically diagnosed earlier than biologically female clients. Schizophrenia tends to manifest earlier in males, typically in the late teens to early 20s, whereas females are more often diagnosed in their late 20s to early 30s. This difference is believed to be influenced by hormonal and neurobiological factors. C. Biologically female clients are likely to be diagnosed earlier than biologically male clients. This statement is incorrect because females generally receive a schizophrenia diagnosis later than males, often in their late 20s or beyond, rather than in adolescence or early adulthood. D. Diagnosis commonly occurs in individuals under the age of 12. Schizophrenia is extremely rare in children under 12. The typical onset occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood, making early childhood diagnosis highly uncommon.
