Answer to Question 1
Answer: 1
Explanation: Toxic faith occurs when an individual's beliefs interfere with his or her health and relationships with others. The nurse would not assess for the presence of delusions, as this patient is not demonstrating delusional thoughts. The nurse will not ask the patient about the family member's concerns or to explain his or her beliefs to the family member, because these do not promote a therapeutic nurse-patient relationship.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: 3
Explanation: The nurse needs to listen carefully to the concerns and disappointment of the patient, review the nature of his or her illness and the action of the medications, and help the patient explore feelings about not being healed as the patient expected and hoped. The nurse should not simply review the importance of taking the medications as prescribed, as this will not allow the patient to understand the nature of his or her illness and the reason for the medications. The patient has already told the nurse why he or she does not want to take these medications and how the patient is feeling.
