Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is discussing the care of a client who has a substance use disorder with a staff nurse. Which of the following statements by the staff nurse should the charge nurse identify as countertransference?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Countertransference occurs when a healthcare provider projects their own feelings or experiences onto a client. In this scenario, option C, "The client is just like my brother who finally overcame his habit," demonstrates countertransference. The staff nurse is drawing a parallel between the client and their brother, which can affect their judgment and care for the client. This statement implies a personal connection that may cloud the nurse's objectivity. Options A, B, and D are not examples of countertransference as they focus on the client's behavior, responsibility, and boundaries, respectively. It is important for healthcare providers to recognize and address countertransference to ensure unbiased and effective care.
