Question 1 1 / 1 pts
A client with schizophrenia says, “I’m away for the day ... but
don’t think we should play … or do we have feet of clay?” Which
alteration in the client’s speech does the nurse document?
Neologism
Word salad
Correct! Clang association
Associative looseness
Rationale: Clang association is the meaningless rhyming
of words in which the rhyming is more important than the
context of the words. A neologism is a made-up word that
has meaning only to the client. Word salad is the term for
a mixture of meaningless phrases, either to the client or to
the listener. Associative looseness is a term used to
describe schizophrenic speech in which connections and
threads are interrupted or missing.
Test-Taking Strategy: Knowledge of the speech patterns
exhibited by the client with schizophrenia is needed to
answer this question. Focus on the data in the question
and note the meaningless rhyming of words. Review these
speech patterns with schizophrenia if you had difficulty
with this question.
Cognitive Ability: Applying
Client Needs: Psychosocial Integrity
