The nurse is assessing a 16-year-old who has been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease (STD). The nurse realizes that such risk-taking behavior is often a predictor of even more serious self-destructive behaviors, and so this client should be:
1. Screened for illegal drug use
2. Assessed for suicidal ideations
3. Interviewed regarding alcohol consumption
4. Provided information regarding birth control
Question 2
A 73-year-old client shares with the nurse that she feels so useless, especially now that arthritis makes her life-long hobby of hand sewing so painful as to make it almost impossible.
Which of the following nursing responses is most therapeutic given the client's current poor self-esteem image?
1. What is it about sewing that makes it so enjoyable for you?
2. I'm sure your sewing is beautiful; have you ever considered teaching others to sew?
3. Maybe you can find something else that will give you as much satisfaction about yourself.
4. We can attempt to find the proper pain management plan to minimize the dis-comfort so you can sew again.
The tone of the nurse-patient introduction sets the stage for the patient interview and patient care
