A client who has hallucinations is no longer benefiting from medication. The client's wife has heard that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) might be helpful.
 
  The nurse knows that rTMS may be promising for this client because it: 1. Acts more quickly than electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
  2. Does not cause pain and, therefore, does not require anesthesia.
  3. Acts more quickly than antipsychotic medications.
  4. Has been around longer than ECT and has more research evidence for its use.

Question 2

Which of the following communication theories provides the most appropriate rationale for a nursing intervention to utilize the perceived strengths of the client in promoting effective communication?
 
  1. Behavioral Effects and Human Communication Theory
  2. Neurolinguistic Programming Theory
  3. Theory of Communication Levels
  4. Therapeutic Communication Theory

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: As a therapy, rTMS is still experimental. The most promising beneficial effects of this experimental treatment are in clients with depression and hallucinating clients who are medication-resistant. There is no pain involved with rTMS, and no anesthesia is required. rTMS is not proven to act more quickly than antipsychotic medications or ECT. rTMS is still experimental and does not have more research evidence than ECT for its use.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Therapeutic Communication Theory (TCT) includes all the processes by which one human being influences another, taking into account the perceptions and interpretations that influence one person's view of the other.
