Question 3 of 5
A patient discloses several concerns and associated feelings. If the nurse wants to seek clarification, which comment would be appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Asking, 'Am I correct in understanding that "¦' permits clarification to ensure that both the nurse and patient share mutual understanding of the communication. Asking about common elements encourages comparison rather than clarification. The remaining responses are implied questions that suggest the nurse was not listening.
Question 4 of 5
Which principle should guide the nurse in determining the extent of silence to use during patient interview sessions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Silence can be helpful to both participants by giving each an opportunity to contemplate what has transpired, weigh alternatives, and formulate ideas. A nurse breaking silences is not a principle related to silences. It is inaccurate to say that patients withdraw during long silences or that silence helps patients know that they are understood. Feedback helps patients know they have been understood.
