Things to Look Out for When Buying a Used Caravan The nurse is assigned to care for a client experiencing disturbed thought processes.

Open -ended questions and silence are strategies used to encourage clients to discuss their problem. Options 3 and 4 do not encourage the client to express feelings. The nurse should not offer opinions and should not state the reasons, but should encourage the client to identify the reasons for their behavior. Option 2 is not a client -centered intervention. The nurse is assigned to care for a client admitted to the hospital after sustaining an injury from a house fire. The client attempted to save a neighbor involved in the fire, but despite the client's efforts, the neighbor died. Which action should the nurse take to enable the client to work through the meaning of the crisis? 1.Identifying the client's ab ility to function 2.Identifying the client's potential for self -harm 3.Inquiring about the client's feelings that may affect coping 4.Inquiring about the client's perception of the cause of the neighbor's death 3. The client must first deal with feelings a nd negative responses before the client is able to work through the meaning of the crisis. Option 3 pertains directly to the client's feelings. Options 1, 2, and 4 do not directly address the client's feelings. The nurse is assisting with the data collection on a client admitted to the psychiatric unit. After review of the obtained data, the nurse should identify which as a priority concern? 1.The client's report of not eating or sleeping 2.The presence of bruises on the client's body 3.The client's report of self -destructive thoughts 4.The family member is disapproving of the treatment. 3. The client's thoughts are extremely important when verbalized. Self -destructive thoughts are the highest priority. Options 1, 2, and 4 will all affect the treatment of the client but are not of greatest importance at this time. Laboratory work is prescribed for a client who has been experiencing delusions. When the laboratory technician approaches the client to obtain a specimen of the client's blood, the client begins to shout, "You're all vampires. Let me out of here!" The nurse present at the time should respond with which question or statement? 1."The technician is not going to hurt you but is going to help." 2."Are you fearfu l and think that others may want to hurt you?" 3."What makes you think that the technician wants to hurt you?" 4."The technician will leave and come back later for your blood." 2. Option 2 is the only option that recognizes the client's need. This response helps the client focus on the emotion underlying the delusion but does not argue with it. If the nurse attempts to change the client's mind, the delusion may, in fact, be even more strongly held. Options 1, 3, and 4 do not focus on the client's feelings. An intoxicated client is brought to the emergency department by local police. The client is told that the primary health care provider (PHCP) will be in to see the client in about 30 minutes. The client becomes very loud and offensive and wants to be seen by the PHCP immediately. The nurse assisting to care for the client should take which appropriate nursing intervention? 1.Watch the behavior escalate before intervening. 2.Attempt to talk with the client to de -escalate the behavior. 3.Offer to take the cli ent to an examination room until he or she can be treated. 4.Inform the client that he or she will be asked to leave if the behavior continues. 3. Safety of the client, other clients, and staff is of prime concern. Option 3 is in effect an isolation techni que that allows for separation from others and provides for a less stimulating environment where the client can maintain dignity. When dealing with an impaired individual, trying to talk may be out of the question. Waiting to intervene could cause the clie nt to become even more agitated and a threat to others. Option 4 would only further aggravate an already agitated individual. A client is admitted to a psychiatric unit for treatment of a psychotic disorder. The client is at the locked exit door and is sho uting, "Let me out! There's nothing wrong with me! I don't belong here!" The nurse identifies this behavior as which defense mechanism? 1.Denial 2.Projection 3.Regression 4.Rationalization 1. Denial is the refusal to admit to a painful reality and is treat ed as if it does not exist. In projection, a person unconsciously rejects emotionally unacceptable features and attributes them to other people, objects, or situations. In regression, the client returns to an earlier, more comforting, although less mature, way of behaving. Rationalization is justifying the unacceptable attributes about oneself. A client says to the nurse, "I'm going to die, and I wish my family would stop hoping for a 'cure'! I get so angry when they carry on like this! After all, I'm the o ne who's dying." Which therapeutic response should the nurse make to the client? 1."Have you shared your feelings with your family?" 2."I think we should talk more about your anger with your family."
