A college student has been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Which of the following symptoms should a campus nurse expect this client to exhibit? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A reason: This client presents with negative symptoms of schizophrenia, which are often associated with a poorer prognosis. Negative symptoms like alogia and anhedonia indicate a diminished emotional response and lack of motivation, which can severely impact the client's ability to function and respond to treatment.

Choice B reason: Having a first cousin with bipolar I disorder may suggest a genetic predisposition to mood disorders but does not directly influence the prognosis of a client already diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Choice C reason: While an exacerbation of hallucinations and delusions indicates a worsening of symptoms, it is the positive symptoms of schizophrenia that are often more responsive to treatment. Therefore, this client may not necessarily have the worst outcomes.

Choice D reason: An older adult with a late onset of schizophrenia typically has a better prognosis than those with an earlier onset. Late-onset schizophrenia is often less severe and may respond better to treatment.

Choice A reason: Exploring is a therapeutic technique that involves delving into a client's experiences and feelings, which can be beneficial in understanding their perspective.

Choice B reason: Silence can be a therapeutic technique that gives clients space to think and express themselves.

Choice C reason: Voicing doubt can undermine the client's confidence and is not considered a therapeutic response.

Choice D reason: Challenging may confront the client in a non-therapeutic way, potentially leading to defensiveness.

Choice E reason: Disapproving can make clients feel judged and is not conducive to a therapeutic relationship.

Choice F reason: Agreeing may not always be therapeutic as it can prevent clients from exploring all aspects of their issues.
