Question 2 of 5
Noah has made it clear he doesn't want to talk about his dad. But the truth is, as the interview proceeds, he becomes anxious and tries to evade all questions about why he is here. Which type of communication might be most appropriate right now?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Ask a miracle question. This type of communication technique is appropriate because it allows Noah to envision a positive future without directly probing into his personal issues, which might make him uncomfortable. By asking a miracle question, such as "If you woke up tomorrow and everything was better, what would be different?" it can help Noah open up about his concerns in a more indirect and non-confrontational way. This can build trust and rapport with Noah, as it shows that you are empathetic and focused on helping him envision a solution to his problems. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they are more direct approaches that may increase Noah's anxiety and resistance. Giving advice without understanding the full context of his situation (Choice A), expressing disapproval (Choice B), or asking a blunt question (Choice C) may lead to further avoidance and hinder the communication process.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because Hugo's early exposure to stress, particularly abuse, is a known risk factor for developing psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. Research shows that adverse childhood experiences can increase the likelihood of mental health issues later in life. This is due to the impact of chronic stress on brain development and functioning, leading to vulnerability to psychiatric disorders. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because resilience, survival skills, and nurturing nature are not typically outcomes of experiencing severe abuse and trauma in childhood.

Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: B

This statement lacks empathy and understanding, focusing on blaming the patient rather than fostering a supportive and collaborative environment. In contrast, choices A, C, and D show openness, empathy, and collaboration, which are essential for building a positive patient-nurse relationship. Option A demonstrates self-awareness and introspection, option C involves the patient's family in care planning, and option D acknowledges the patient's experience and feedback on the medication's effectiveness.
