Question

A client had been institutionalized for 18 years with chronic schizophrenia. His symptoms are under fairly good control, and the hospital is considering transition to group home. He has no idea how to manage meals, shopping, finance, or health care. The nurse teaching these skills is considered part of which types of care.

Answer 1

Answer:

The nurse teaching these skills is considered part of:

Convalescence care.

Explanation:

The client, in this case, is in a recovery mode since his symptoms are considered to be under control, and the hospital treating him for the past 18 years, thinks that he should be referred to a group home for patients with mental disorder.  According to well-known definitions, schizophrenia patients show signs of hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking, and these behaviors impair daily functioning, including managing meals, shopping, finance, or health care.
