Question 2 of 5
In a psychiatric inpatient setting, the nurse observes an adolescent client's peers calling the client names. In this context, which statement by the nurse exemplifies the concept of empathy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it demonstrates empathy by acknowledging the client's emotions and inviting them to express their feelings. By saying "I can see that you are upset. Tell me how you feel," the nurse shows understanding and validates the client's experience. This response focuses on the client's perspective and emotions, fostering a supportive and empathetic connection. Choice B focuses more on the nurse's emotions rather than the client's, which may not fully address the client's needs. Choice C shifts the focus to the nurse's past experiences, which may not resonate with the client or address their current feelings. Choice D reflects the nurse's emotions without directly addressing the client's experience, lacking the focus on the client's feelings that is central to empathy.
