Which of the following statements made by the RN preparing to conduct a client's initial health history shows the best understanding of the therapeutic objective of the interview?
 
  1. It's all about finding out what the problems are and discovering the best way to fix them.
  2. Clients are more comfortable when you take the time to get to know them and their problems.
  3. I use it as an opportunity to show the client that his care is very important to the hospital's staff.
  4. It is the most appropriate way to initiate the therapeutic nature of the nurse-client relationship.

Question 2

Which of the following statements made by a nurse reflects the best understanding of the health value of conducting a blood pressure (BP) screening at a senior citizens center's health fair?
 
  1. This is a high risk group, so assessing BP allows us to identify clients at risk and send them for treatment.
  2. Older adults enjoy health fairs, so it's a good place to screen substantial numbers of clients for hypertension.
  3. Hypertension doesn't present symptoms early on, so screening elder adults is a wonderful preventive measure.
  4. Blood pressure problems are common among this group, so it's a good way to monitor the effectiveness of their medications.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The main objective of interacting with clients is to find out what their concerns are and to help them find solutions. While the other options are not incorrect, they do not express the primary objective of information gathering directed towards client care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Health screenings focus on a specific physical problem. For example, blood pressure screenings detect the risk for high blood pressure. If this screening determines that a client has a risk for disease, the nurse refers the client for a more complete physical examination. While the other op-tions are not incorrect, they do not show the most thorough understanding of the value of health screenings.
