The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. The nurse has instructed the client about using the communication triad. The nurse determines that the client understands the technique when the client says:
 
  A) I should not start by talking about the situation, because then it sounds like I'm accusing the other person.
  B) Maybe I should start by describing the situation that has me upset.
  C) I should first tell the other person what I'd like to be different about the situation.
  D) I should begin by telling the other person what has triggered my emotion.

Question 2

The client says to the nurse, I really want to see my first grandchild born before I die. Is that too much to ask? The nurse recognizes that the client is in which stage of grieving, according to Kubler-Ross?
 
  A) Acceptance
  B) Anger
  C) Bargaining
  D) Depression

Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback: Clients often set goals such as living until a certain time or to experience a particular event, and then they'll be ready to die: that is the bargain. Acceptance occurs when the person shows evidence of coming to terms with death. Anger may be expressed toward God, relatives, friends, or healthcare providers. Depression results when awareness of the loss becomes acute.
