The given question is not complete. The complete question is:
A client with the diagnosis of schizophrenia who has been hospitalized on a mental health unit for 2 weeks is to be discharged home. The client is vacillating between being happy and sad about going home. What term best describes these conflicting emotions?
1
Double bind
2
Ambivalence
3
Loose association
4
Inappropriate affect
Answer:
The correct answer is ambivalence.
Explanation:
The simultaneous prevalence of two contrary emotions, desires, or impulses is termed as ambivalence. A single communication comprising two contrasting messages is termed as a double-bind message. The absence of connections between thoughts is termed as loose associations.
The inappropriate effect is not the two contrasting emotions, however, it is the inappropriate expression of emotions.
