The psychiatricmental health nurse is asked to consult with an emergency room nurse about a client who has been refusing to cooperate with lab work for over four hours.
 
  The client appears frightened, answers questions reluctantly, and has no family present. Which response of the psychiatricmental health nurse demonstrates a humanisticinteracti onal approach to the situation? 1. Have you asked if the client wants to have a friend or family member to be here?
  2. Have you offered medication for anxiety?
  3. Give the client some time alone to decide whether or not to accept treatment.
  4. I would ask for a full psychiatric evaluation before discharge.

Question 2

There are several ways to encourage clients and their families to become educated consumers of CAM practices and products by gathering information about advantages, disadvantages, or risks related to CAM.
 
  Such information might be gained through: Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Contacting their state licensing board.
  2. Personal testimonials from friends.
  3. Reading the latest research.
  4. Websites that report guides to fraud or quackery.
  5. Nothing since there is no specific thing they can do to gain enough information to be an educated consumer.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Since all behavior has meaning, appearance and non-verbal cues suggest the client is fearful and potentially alienated. The offer to include someone from the client's larger support system recognizes the need for safety, security, and feeling connected with others. Suggesting medication for anxiety is premature without further assessment and underscores that the client is not in control of his or her emotions. The statement that a full psychiatric evaluation is needed suggests that the client has a larger problem which has not been unsubstantiated by a holistic assessment, further stigmatizing the client. Allowing the client to remain isolated overlooks the opportunity to develop a relationship where shared understanding can develop.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4
Rationale: Contacting their state licensing board. Health regulatory bodies can provide information on state licensure or registration and any complaints lodged against specific practitioners.
