A client with schizotypal personality disorder is sitting in a puddle of urine. She’s playing in it, smiling, and softly singing a child’s song. Which action would be best?

A client with schizotypal personality disorder is sitting in a puddle of urine. She’s playing in it, smiling, and softly singing a child’s song. Which action would be best?

1. Admonish the client for not using the bathroom
2. Firmly tell the client that her behavior is unacceptable
3. Ask the client if she’s ready to get cleaned up now
4. Help the client to the shower, and change the bedclothes.
