A client has just lost his girlfriend in an automobile accident. When the nurse asks the client about what happened, the client responds with a firm, I don't want to talk about it. An appropriate response by the nurse would be:
 
  1. You'll feel better if you talk about the accident.
  2. You need to talk about the accident.
  3. To sit quietly with the client.
  4. Not sharing your loss can make you ill.

Question 2

The nurse is attempting to help the client acknowledge a recent loss so that grieving can progress. During the interview, one of the best techniques for the nurse to use would be:
 
  1. Telling the client everything will be fine.
  2. Pushing the client to answer questions.
  3. Using open-ended questions to get the client talking.
  4. Calling in an expert such as a minister or chaplain.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. This option does not show respect for the client's view.
2. This option does not show respect for the client's view.
3. Sitting with the client conveys acceptance to the client and lets him know the nurse is available to him.
4. This option does not show respect for the client's view.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

1. Giving the client false hope by saying that everything will be fine will disturb the nurse-client relationship.
2. The nurse does not push the client into anything.
3. Open-ended questions foster conversation, and the client is more likely to share feelings.
4. The nurse is qualified to communicate with the client about grief, and should communicate with the client. However, it would not be wrong to ask the client if she would like her minister notified.
