A nurse is developing a nursing care plan for a newly-admitted client with schizophrenia. The nurse keeps in mind that this term describes an effect of isolation:

Hallucination
Delusions
Ideas of reference
Anhedonia

Explanation

Answer: A - Isolation for a long period of time can result in sensory deprivation, as manifested by hallucination. Delusion is a false belief without a basis in reality. Ideas of reference is a symptom where the client completely believes that casual events and remarks are referring to oneself-influencing or conveying him a message, when in fact, they are not.
