A client newly diagnosed with schizophrenia asks the nurse “Will I pass this disease on to my children?” What is the best response?

“The risk of getting schizophrenia is low, and most people with a close relative with the condition will not develop it themselves.”.

“Schizophrenia is caused by genetic factors and your children will develop the disease ten times more often than the general public.”.

“There is a 50% chance that your child will be born with schizophrenia, so keep them out of crowded places and high anxiety situations.”.

“Females with schizophrenia are infertile and unable to carry a full-term pregnancy, but most of the people who are affected are male.”.
