The nurse is determining the success of a client’s plan of care by evaluating outcome indicators. What is a positive outcome for a client with schizophrenia who has been experiencing numerous hallucinations?

	A.	On the day of discharge, the client reports they are only hearing two voices today.
	B.	During the initial assessment, the nurse observes the client talking to themselves throughout the interview phase.
	C.	At the initial interview, the client is unable or unwilling to answer all questions, at times just staring off in space.
	D.	After intense therapy sessions and medication readjustment, the client reports they are no longer hearing voices.

Expert Solution

Ans) D) After intense therapy sessions and medication readjustment, the client reports they are no longer hearing voices.

Explanation:

- The nurse usually determines outcome indicators during the assessment process. Outcomes can be expressed in terms of the client's actual responses- subjective data (no longer reports hearing voices) or the status of a nursing diagnosis at a point in time after implementation of nursing interventions.

- So through intense therapy sessions, & medication regime, recurrent assessment will help in evaluating outcome indicators.
