A nurse is assisting with a presentation about types of aggression to a group of residents at a community outreach center. One of the attendees states, "I keep seeing the same person outside my apartment and they are leaving me items at my door." Which of the following types of aggression should the nurse identify the client is experiencing?

A. "I'm going to ignore your lack of self-care because it is an aspect of the disorder." Ignoring the client’s hygiene neglect does not support their well-being or promote self-care. While poor self-care is a symptom of schizophrenia, the nurse should encourage hygiene rather than dismiss it.
B. "Do you really think it is ok not to bathe? What is going on with you?" This confrontational statement may make the client feel judged or defensive, potentially worsening their resistance to self-care. Clients with schizophrenia may have impaired insight and motivation, making supportive guidance more effective.
C. "It is now time for you to bathe. Do you want to wear the red or green shirt?" Providing a structured directive while offering a simple choice promotes autonomy and encourages adherence to hygiene. Clients with schizophrenia benefit from clear instructions and limited choices, reducing decision-making stress and increasing cooperation.
D. "This is it! You are getting a bath! There are three of us here to bathe you!" Using forceful or coercive language can cause distress and escalate resistance. Encouraging hygiene should be done through therapeutic communication and gentle prompts rather than threats or intimidation.

A. Shuffling walk. A shuffling walk is typically associated with parkinsonism or other movement disorders, which may occur with antipsychotic medications, but the specific symptom of restlessness more directly relates to other conditions.
B. Suicidal ideation. While monitoring for suicidal ideation is important in any client with psychosis, it is not specifically associated with the restlessness that the client reports in relation to chlorpromazine use.
C. Abnormal movements of the tongue and face. Abnormal movements of the tongue and face are more characteristic of tardive dyskinesia, which develops over a longer period of treatment. The acute restlessness the client is experiencing is more closely aligned with akathisia, a side effect of antipsychotic medications.
D. Oculogyric crisis. This condition involves involuntary upward eye movement and can occur as an acute dystonic reaction to antipsychotic medications like chlorpromazine. Given the client's report of restlessness, the nurse should monitor for this adverse effect, as it is more likely to manifest in the context of acute medication side effects.
