Question 4 of 5
The female nurse is sitting across a table from the Latino male she has been educating about testicular self-examination. When the client successfully verbalizes the process, the nurse excitedly praises the client, leans over the table, and makes the "OK" sign with her thumb and forefinger. The client angrily gets up and abruptly leaves the room. What likely caused the client's abrupt departure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A. Since the client had participated in the discussion up to the point of the nurse's actions, he obviously was not uncomfortable with the discussion. B.

Anger and an abrupt departure are usually not behaviors displayed by the client when teaching is completed.
