Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
When time is limited, purposeful and focused conversation, known as therapeutic conversation, can help build a relationship. Nurses validate family concerns with their active listening. Use of manners and common courtesies such as the nurse introducing himself or herself to the family indicates a desire to connect with the family and to instill trust in family members. Asking family members therapeutic questions helps them not only to identify their expectations about nursing care but also to assign priorities to their needs. Acknowledgment of family strengths leads the family to view their situation differently and makes them more likely to move toward more effective problem solving.
