During a nurse-client interaction, the nurse will identify cognitive errors when he or she hears which of these statements? (You may select more than one answer.)
 
  1. I think I will do well on the next exam, because I have studied.
  2. I failed the last exam; I know I will fail the next one.
  3. Whenever I burn the toast in the morning, I know the whole day will be a mess.
  4. I never do anything right.
  5. My parents had a lot of problems, but I have learned from their mistakes.

Question 2

Immediately after ECT, nursing care of the client is most similar to care of a client:
 
  1. With severe dementia
  2. With delirium tremens
  3. Recovering from conscious sedation
  4. Recovering from general anesthesia

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2, 3, 4
Option 1 is a rational thought. Option 2 is the cognitive error of overgeneralization. Option 3 is catastrophizing. Option 4 is overgeneralization. Option 5 is a rational thought.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
The client who has ECT receives a short-acting IV anesthetic and a skeletal muscle relaxant. Thus care is most similar to the client recovering from general anesthesia. The nurse will assess vital signs, quality of respirations, presence or absence of the gag reflex, level of consciousness, orien-tation, and motor abilities during the posttreatment period.
