While the nurse is bathing a 7-year-old child, the child states, I get so sad when my mom leaves. The response that ignores the importance of the child's feelings is:
 
  1. Could you explain to me what you mean by sad?
 
  2. Can you tell me more about how it makes you feel when your mom leaves?
 
  3. Your mother has to take care of your brothers and sisters too. She will be back tomorrow.
 
  4. I will stay with you tonight while your mother is away.

Question 2

The nurse understands that the consequences of unrelieved pain can cause an increase in:
 
  1. Stress.
   2. Sleep.
   3. Healing.
   4. Addiction.

Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale:

1. Asking the child to explain what is meant lets the child know the feelings experienced are important to the nurse.
2. The nurse's wanting to know more about the child's feelings conveys caring for the child, and is therapeutic.
3. This response ignores the importance of the child's expressed feelings and conveys disinterest in the child.
4. Staying with the child might alleviate some fear of being alone, and might facilitate expression of feelings and establish trust and rapport in the nurseclient relationship.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Unrelieved pain is stressful, and has many undesirable physiologic consequences.
2. Unrelieved pain can make it difficult to obtain restful sleep.
3. Healing is delayed when pain is not adequately relieved.
4. There is no correlation between unrelieved pain and addiction.
