Question 3 of 5
A patient who had been experiencing significant stress learned to use progressive muscle relaxation and deep breathing exercises. When the patient returns to the clinic 2 weeks later, which finding most clearly shows the patient is coping more effectively with stress?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Objective measures tend to be the most reliable means of gauging progress. In this case, the patients elevated blood pressure, an indication of the bodys physiological response to stress, has diminished. The patients report regarding activity level is subjective; sitting quietly could reflect depression rather than improvement. Appetite, mood, and energy levels are also subjective reports that do not necessarily reflect physiological changes from stress and may not reflect improved coping with stress. The patients weight change could be a positive or negative indicator; the blood pressure change is the best answer.
Question 4 of 5
A young female member in a therapy group says to an older female member, You are just like my mother, always trying to control me with your observations and suggestions. Which therapeutic factor of a group is evident by this behavior?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The younger patient is demonstrating an emotional attachment to the older patient that mirrors patterns within her own family of origin, a phenomenon called corrective recapitulation of the primary family group. Feedback from the group then helps the member gain insight about this behavior and leads to more effective ways of relating to her family members. Instillation of hope involves conveying optimism and sharing progress. Existential resolution refers to the realization that certain existential experiences such as death are part of life, aiding the adjustment to such realities. Development of socializing techniques involves gaining social skills through the groups feedback and practice within the group.
Question 5 of 5
Which remark by a group participant would the nurse expect during the working stage of group therapy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In the working stage, members actively interact to help each other accomplish goals, and because trust has developed, conflict and disagreement can be expressed. Focusing on trust and confidentiality typically occur in the orientation phase as part of establishing group norms. Commonality and universality are also themes typically expressed in the orientation phase, whereas reflecting on progress is a task addressed in the termination phase.
