Which statement by a client who has given informed consent for ECT confirms the client's un-derstanding of the side effects of this treatment?
 
  1. I won't remember the pain.
  2. It will take several weeks before I feel good again.
  3. Memory loss will be only temporary.
  4. I will be at increased risk for developing epilepsy.

Question 2

A student asks the nurse, Why do you go to music therapy every morning at 10? The nurse ex-plains the nurse's role in music therapy as:
 
  1. Noting client verbal and nonverbal expression of feelings
  2. Teaching clients about various styles of music
  3. Fostering and encouraging performance talent
  4. Selecting and playing numbers that will reduce anxiety and stress

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Temporary impairment of recent memory is an expected side effect that occurs to some degree during the course of ECT. The other options suggest the client's understanding of treatment and side effects is flawed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
A goal of music therapy is to promote expression and social connection. The nurse should ob-serve and document expression of feelings as they occur. The observations may be used later, as a basis for further consideration by the nurse and client. The other options do not reflect aspects of the nurse's role in music therapy.
