To effectively plan care for a client, the nurse will understand that activity and adjunct therapies may be more useful in some situations than verbal therapies because adjunct therapies:
 
  1. Allow the client to express feelings on multiple levels at the same time
  2. Do not require specific training or expertise to facilitate
  3. Provide the client the opportunity to use ego-protective mechanisms
  4. Are readily available in the treatment setting

Question 2

The client and the nurse have agreed on problems to be addressed during a short course of outpa-tient therapy. At the beginning of the appointment, the client states, I'd like to work on the is-sue of relationships today.
 
  Which assessment can be made?
  1. Nurse-client roles have not been clearly delineated.
  2. The nurse should suggest several alternative behaviors.
  3. The client must be able to manage emotions before continuing.
  4. The relationship is moving from orientation to working phase.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
A client is able to express feelings on the emotional, physical, and symbolic level during activity therapy, whereas verbal therapies are limited to one dimension. 2. The primary facilitator of the selected therapy is required to have formal education and supervised experience. 3. Adjunct therapy does not provide this opportunity, which would be considered nontherapeutic. 4. This is not always the case.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Once the client and nurse have collaborated to define and prioritize problems, the relationship moves from orientation to working phase. Options 1, 2, and 3 have no relevance to the scenario.
