1. Which technique is the most important therapeutic tool a nurse should use to provide
quality care to a psychiatric client?
A. Context.
B. Self-analysis. Correct
C. Counter transference.
D. Therapeutic self-disclosure.
Self-analysis is a tool for the nurse to examine oneself, view one's responses in various mental
and emotional moments, and provide a sense of how sensitive care should be provided relative
to one's own needs, so (B) is a primary tool used by the nurse to establish therapeutic empathy
and achieve authentic, open, and personal communication with a client. Although (A, C, and D)
may occur in a nurse-client relationship, they may not contribute to establishing a therapeutic
relationship.

another environmental stimulus, which can contribute to the client's anxiety. (D) is helpful, but
the most immediate action is to retake the blood pressure in one hour.
