Answer 1

According to the Chegg guidelines, I am supposed to answer only one question in the case of MCQs, and the first four in the case of questions with many subparts, But I have responded to the first five here due to time constraints.

Answer 1- The answer is "auditory hallucinations", which is a common symptom of people with schizophrenia, the person will hear voices.

The rest of the options are incorrect as visual hallucinations happen when a person is seeing something which is not present in reality. In delusions, one might not be able to differentiate between imagination and reality. Lastly, ideation included forming certain ideas, suicidal ideation is a common example.

Answer 2- The answer is "hallucinations", as this is a positive symptom of schizophrenia.

The rest of the options are incorrect as they all are negative symptoms of schizophrenia, restricted affect is lack of expressing, avolition is lack of motivation and also fewer facial expressions.

Answer 3- The answer is "avolition", as it is a negative symptom and means the lack of motivation and ability to perform tasks.

The rest of the options are incorrect as they all are positive symptoms of schizophrenia, hallucinations will be that people might be able to experience things with their 5 senses, delusions will be that they won't be able to differentiate between imagination and reality, and disorganized speech includes the confusing thoughts.

Answer 4- The answer is "persecutory delusions" as persecution is the most common type of delusion.

The rest of the options are incorrect as delusions of guilt, somatic delusions, and thought insertion are not the common type of delusion.

Answer 5- The answer is "somatic delusions", where the person has false beliefs that one's appearance or part of one's body is diseased or altered.

The rest of the options are incorrect as persecutory delusions mean when people believe that others are going to harm them, thought insertions states that one's thoughts are being inserted into their minds and don't belong to them, and lastly the unusual beliefs about ones grandeur is delusions of grandeur.
