During assessment of a client with schizophrenia, the nurse notes the client has ideas of reference. Which statement of the client would have led the nurse to conclude this? A. "My dead friend is putting these ideas in my mind." B. "The news of the terrorist attack is directed to me. The terrorists are trying to warn me." C. "My family is taking my thoughts away. I am unable to think now." D. "I am sure you know what I am thinking. Everybody knows what I am thinking."

The correct answer is: B. The news of the terrorist attack is directed to me. The terrorist are trying to warn me.

Explanation:

Ideas of reference also known as delusions of reference is a symptom of certain psychological and mental disorders and are characterized by the strong belief that innocuous events and circumstances are somehow directed or related to the individual who is experiencing it.

For example, a person with delusions of reference may believe that the news anchor is directly speaking to them through the Tv screen or that the lyrics of a song are particularly about them.

In this particular case, the probable statement of the client that would have led the nurse to conclude that the client has ideas of reference is: B the news of the terrorist attack is directed to me. The terrorists are trying to warn me.

x = 7

step-by-step explanation:

equating the expression for area to the given area

2x² - 7x - 4 = 45 ( subtract 45 from both sides )

2x² - 7x - 49 = 0 ← in standard form

to factor consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 49 = - 98 and sum = - 7

the factors are - 14 and + 7

use these factors to split the middle term

2x² - 14x + 7x - 49 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 7) + 7(x - 7) = 0 ← factor out (x - 7)

(x - 7)(2x + 7) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

2x + 7 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 7 ⇒ x = -

thus the positive value for x is x = 7
