These are forms of questions that make it possible for a one-word “yes” or “no” answer. They discourage the patient from giving full answers to the questions. “Hate” is judgmental and makes an assumption for the marital crisis.

2 This is a closed-ended question. These are forms of questions that make it possible for a one-word “yes” or “no” answer. They discourage the patient from giving full answers to the questions.

3 This is a closed-ended question. These are forms of questions that make it possible for a one-word “yes” or “no” answer. They discourage the patient from giving full answers to the questions.

This is an open-ended question allowing the mother to explain why she is upset.

This minimizes the problem, implying the mother’s feelings are not special.

Changing the subject sends the message to the mother that the nurse does not care or that this problem is not worthy of the nurse’s time.

Feedback Although this is an open-ended question, it changes the subject and does not deal with the anxiety.

To keep open communication with the patient, the nurse should ask open-ended questions that will facilitate discussion.

Although this is an open-ended question, it belittles the patient and implies that the patient’s feelings are not special.

Feedback Asking for what you need requires the user to start the sentence with the words “I want” or “I need,” which is not needed in this instance.

Although silence can be therapeutic, it is not appropriate for this situation. The patient does not need time to collect thoughts; an answer is needed in the form of patient teaching.

Although general leads are therapeutic, they are not appropriate in this instance.

Saying “Yes” or “Go on” is not best because the patient has already stated the need: “I don’t know what the pills are for and why I am taking them.”

Giving information relates to the helping relationship because it involves a form of patient teaching, which is what this patient needs.

the terms they choose are correct and mean the same thing to all parties involved in the interaction. If the nurse does not clarify simple words, she or he could incorrectly infer the patient’s level of ability or cooperation.

Correct. Remaining silent is a therapeutic technique. First, it allows the nurse and the patient a short time to collect their thoughts; second, it shows patience and acceptance on the part of the nurse.

Correct. Asking open-ended questions is a therapeutic technique. Open-ended communication allows the patient to become more involved in his or her plan of care.

Incorrect. Offering false reassurance is a nontherapeutic technique. These are phrases nurses may use to sound supportive. In social communication, these expressions sound friendly, but in a therapeutic relationship, they invalidate the patient’s concerns.

1. A patient is expressing anger when the nurse attempts to make him take a medication, which he is

refusing. If the nurse pushes to give the medication against his will, the nurse is: 1. Violating the patient’s rights.

2. Achieving a treatment goal to get the medication in the patient any way possible.

3. Supporting the family’s demand that he takes the medication.

4. Following orders from the charge nurse.

2. A mental health nurse bumps into one of the members from the church, who begins questioning the

nurse about a former neighbor. The lady from the church asks the nurse, “How is Rachael? We have been friends for over 20 years, and I have seen her come out of your clinic a few times. Is she seeing one of the psychiatrists?” The nurse’s response is: 1. “The HIPAA Act prevents me from disclosing any information about any patient.”

2. “All I can say is she is seeing Dr. Leone.”

3. “Rachael is seeing Dr. Leone because she is concerned about feeling extremely happy sometimes and feeling extremely depressed other times.”

2. “You can go back to your regular time for praying when you are discharged.”

3. “How can I accommodate you with your prayer time?”

4. “Would you like to learn another prayer?”

4. The nursing student uses the patient’s full name on the assigned care plan during a recent clinical

rotation. What is the instructor’s priority intervention?

1. Express the importance of factual documentation and that it should include the

patient’s name.

2. Remind the student of the importance of maintaining patient confidentiality.

2

This response belittles and minimizes thepatient’s feelings and will make thepatient feel even more isolated.

3

When talking to someone who is suicidal, avoid platitudes such as “Think what this would do to your children.” Often thesuicidal person is so immersed in feelings of hopelessness and isolation that she is unable to identify with how others are feeling. In addition, thepatient may view that thefamily will be better off without her.

This response uses empathy and open-ended statements to allow thepatient to talk about feelings. Be prepared to talk to thepatient about her feelings, work to reframe hopelessness, and assist in problem-solving to identify alternative solutions to problems thepatient views as insurmountable.

Keeping thepatient sedated is considered chemical restraint, and it is inappropriate.

2

In Alzheimer’s disease preventing further cognitive deterioration is not possible; Alzheimer’s is irreversible. Behavior medication is generally ineffective with cognitive deterioration if theperson cannot remember therewards.

3

A person with mild Alzheimer’s is usually still functioning independently; it is too early to begin moving thepatient to a skilled nursing facility.

4

A stable, consistent environment will give thepatient with Alzheimer’s disease cues to maintain participation and orientation.

Correct. It is as detrimental to understimulate people with cognitive disorders as it is to overload them. The brain needs some encouragement to activate.

2.

Incorrect. Keep televisions and radios off or at a very low volume.

3.

Correct. The ability to function cognitively and physically is diminished when a person has dementia. Nurses and other health-care workers must remember to allow more time for performing care.

4.

Incorrect. With dementia patients, nurses should not emphasize “reality orientation” by asking or reminding the patient of his or her name, the year, and current location—especially in later stages of the disease. Changes in the brain will not allow the memory to function successfully and may, in fact, cause the patient to experience frustration, feel agitation, and increase acting-out behaviors if reality orientation is emphasized.

This may be needed later but it is not the first action you should take.

2

Providing security and support are the best initial interventions. The survivor of abuse will be confused and fearful. The nurse needs to reassure the patient that everything possible is being done to ensure her safety.

3

One of the victim’s first instincts is to “wash away” the incident both physically and psychologically by showering. Nurses should discourage that activity until evidence can be collected.

4

Gathering information about the incident will come later. The nurse’s first action should be to provide security and support.

Having a chronic disease is not a risk factor for becoming a child abuser.

Healthy and ill individuals can be abusers; it crosses all socioeconomic levels.

Being a heavy drinker is a risk factor for becoming a child abuser. Being under the influence of a substance is a major contributor to violence.
