A client with schizoaffective disorder is engaging in an extremely long conversation about a current affairs in the world. the client goes on to provide the nurse with minute details. the nurse interprets this as suggesting what?

Depending on the contents of the conversation it could mean a variety of things. If the client is interpreting world affairs correctly he is unlikely to be having a schizophrenic episode. However, if his interpretation is out of the norm, or intently self-focused it is likely that they are having an episode. This may also be indicative of how their medicine is working and if they are taking it.
