NCLEX Psychosocial Integrity Questions Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client admitted with a diagnosis of cervical cancer tells the nurse, 'I haven't had a Papanicolaou (Pap) smear for more than 8 years. I probably wouldn't be in the hospital today if I'd had those tests more often.' Which response would the nurse provide?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct response, ''You feel as though you've neglected your health,'' is appropriate as it indicates recognition of expressed feelings, encouraging verbalization. This response is nondirective and reflective.
Choice A, asking the client why she waited so long, ignores the client's current emotional needs and may cut off communication.
Choice C, stating that it is never too late to start taking care of her health, is judgmental as it implies that the client has been negligent.
Choice D, although acknowledging the importance of Pap smears, fails to address the client's current emotional state and needs.
