The nurse tells his mentor, Since I've been working with the client, he seems a lot better. I've done things my own way, as opposed to following the treatment plan. I've done him a few fa-vors and gotten good cooperation.
An astute evaluation by the mentor is that the nurse:
1. Has a character disorder
2. Has a rescue fantasy
3. Needs additional orientation to the importance of the team treatment plan
4. Has a highly developed sense of intuition that guides his therapeutic work
Question 2
The client asks the nurse, I've heard the student nurses talk about the nursing process. Why is there so much emphasis on using the nursing process? The response that explains the need for nurses to understand and use the nursing process is:
1. Do you think you have a better method we might use?
2. The nursing process is a systematic problem-solving method encompassing all components necessary to care for clients.
3. Using the nursing process is a way of legitimizing our profession and placing us on an equal footing with the pure sciences.
4. The nursing process is a unidimensional, static, linear approach used to guide us as we make clinical judgments.
The patient and his family meet with the nurse to discuss progress on the patient care plan.
