After treatment, an adolescent with a history of schizophrenia improves and is to be discharged. the parents tell the nurse that they are concerned about how to respond "if our child starts to act crazy." what is the most therapeutic response by the nurse

The most therapeutic response by the nurse would be to discuss mutual concerns with their child before the discharge date. This will allow the development of a sense of trust and will foster a good relationship. It is important to address the concerns of the parents to make sure that they are prepared to deal with the situation, that they correctly understand what they are dealing with and to ensure that they can support their son adequately.

"crazy is not the answer, if he starts to act up try try to comfort him and if it gradually gets worse bring him back, it really shouldn't come back" I'm not sure. sorry!
