A nurse is caring for a client who was recently re-admitted for relapse of psychosis symptoms due to not taking their medications. Which of the follow should be a long-term goal for this client?

A. Keeping the client’s environment calm with minimal daily stimuli is an immediate or short-term intervention to reduce agitation and sensory overload. While helpful during acute episodes, it does not address long-term management or prevention of relapse. B. Ensuring the client participates in a walk with staff daily is also a short-term, behavioral intervention aimed at promoting physical activity and engagement. This supports overall wellness but is not a long-term goal for relapse prevention. C. Developing and acknowledging understanding of a relapse plan prior to discharge is correct. A long-term goal in the management of schizophrenia focuses on relapse prevention and medication adherence. By educating the client about early warning signs, triggers, and strategies for intervention, the nurse empowers the client to recognize and act on symptoms promptly, reducing the risk of future rehospitalization and promoting sustained recovery. D. Being reoriented to the current environment as needed is a short-term supportive goal used during acute psychosis to reduce confusion. It does not address long-term outcomes or relapse prevention.
