Schizophrenia Concept Map

Schizophrenia is a disorder with biological and environmental risk factors. It causes positive symptoms like hallucinations and delusions, as well as negative symptoms like lack of motivation. Conventional antipsychotics treat positive symptoms while atypical antipsychotics treat both positive and negative symptoms. Nursing assessments evaluate symptoms in four categories - positive, negative, cognitive, and affective. The nursing diagnosis is often distorted thought processes and impaired self-control. Goals are for patients to maintain proper affect and interactions, report decreased hallucinations or delusions, and validate reality. Interventions include identifying risks, screening, managing symptoms, administering and monitoring medications, and reporting side effects. Evaluations determine if treatment goals were reached.
