Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client's perception of the success of treatment plays a part in evaluation. In a global sense, evaluation of the treatment of schizophrenia is based on the following:
ï Have the client's psychotic symptoms disappeared? If not, can the client carry out his or her daily life despite the persistence of some psychotic symptoms?
ï Does the client understand the prescribed medication regimen? Is he or she committed to adherence to the regimen?
ï Does the client believe that he or she has a satisfactory quality of life?
The question, Do you have access to community agencies that will help you to live successfully in this community? is an appropriate question to ask to evaluate the plan of care but does not directly relate to antipsychotic medications.
