A nurse is caring for a client who is diagnosed with schizophrenia. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse identify as a negative symptom?

D. This promotes accountability by involving an identified support person in the client's exercise plan. Sharing the exercise log with a support person creates a sense of responsibility and encouragement for the client to adhere to their exercise regimen. Knowing that someone else will review their progress can motivate the client to stay committed to their goals and maintain consistency in their exercise routine.

A. Setting a specific duration for daily exercise is a good goal-setting strategy. However, it does not inherently provide a mechanism for accountability. The client may not feel as motivated to adhere to the exercise plan consistently.

B. This option involves client engagement and preference, which is important for promoting adherence to an exercise routine. However, it does not directly address accountability.

C. Setting a specific timeframe for daily exercise is another goal-setting strategy, but without mechanisms for accountability, the client may struggle to maintain consistency.

B. Trauma during the developmental years, especially in early childhood, is considered a significant risk factor for the development of DID. Trauma disrupts normal psychological development and can lead to the fragmentation of identity as a coping mechanism to dissociate from overwhelming or traumatic experiences.

A. A history of self-injurious behavior is often associated with various mental health conditions, such as borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or depression but it is not a primary risk factor for dissociative identity disorder (DID).

C. Individuals with BPD may experience dissociative symptoms, particularly during times of stress or intense emotional arousal but BPD itself is not considered a primary risk factor for dissociative identity disorder (DID).

D. Individuals with schizophrenia may experience dissociative symptoms, such as depersonalization or derealization but these symptoms are typically secondary to psychotic experiences rather than being indicative of dissociative identity disorder (DID).
