The nurse is discussing the importance of human touch with the family of a comatose client. The daughter states I love my mother but I find it so hard to touch her when she's like this.
 
  Which of the following nursing statements reflects the most therapeutic response?
  1. Maybe it will get easier each time you touch her.
  2. Touch is a human need, just like food, so please try.
  3. Do you think it would be more comfortable to try washing her face and hands?
  4. Your mother certainly wouldn't want you to do something that you find so dif-ficult.

Question 2

A nurse and client are engaged in imagery training. The nurse shows the best understanding of the importance of selecting an appropriate focus when stating:
 
  1. Let's discuss how to select today's focus.
  2. Today's focus will be auditory rather than visual.
  3. What do you find to be most effective as your focus?
  4. Review this list and select a focus for today's session.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Touch is a primal need, as necessary as food, growth, or shelter. This answer is the only option that attempted to provide an acceptable solution for the family member's problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
People typically respond to their environment according to the way they perceive it, as well as by their own visualizations and expectancies. Therefore individuals learn to regulate themselves by selecting appropriate visualizations and expectations. The remaining options do not allow the cli-ent to control the selection process.
