A nurse makes the statement in a treatment team meeting, 'It's not worth it to try to teach this patient how to make better choices. He has been here many times before and goes back home and does the same thing.' The nurse is sharing which of the following?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Attitudes are general feelings or a frame of reference around which a person organizes knowledge about the world and people. Values are abstract standards that give a person a sense of right and wrong and establish a code of conduct for living. Beliefs are ideas that one holds to be true; for example, 'All old people are hard of hearing,' and 'If the sun is shining, it will be a good day.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The nurse must maintain professional boundaries to ensure therapeutic outcomes, acting warmly but not forming friendships. Lengthy social conversations erode focus on the client’s problems, shifting the relationship to a personal level. Choice A is the patient’s action, not a breach by the nurse, while B and C are appropriate boundary-maintaining responses.
