Question 5 of 5
A nurse can best assess a patient's ability to use abstract thinking by asking the patient which of the following questions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse assesses the client's ability to use abstract thinking, which is to make associations or interpretations about a situation or comment. The nurse usually can do so by asking the client to interpret a common proverb. If the client can explain the proverb correctly, his or her abstract thinking abilities are intact. Judgment refers to the ability to interpret one's environment and situation correctly and to adapt one's behavior and decisions accordingly. Insight is the ability to understand the true nature of one's situation and accept some personal responsibility for that situation. The nurse assesses the client's ability to concentrate by asking the client to perform certain tasks such as 'serial sevens.'
