Question 1 of 5

A client has made the decision to leave her alcoholic husband and reports feeling very depressed. Which of the following is a non-therapeutic statement by the nurse that demonstrates sympathy?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the nurse is sharing her personal experience, which is not therapeutic as it shifts the focus from the client to the nurse's own experience. This can make the client feel unheard and invalidated.
Choice B demonstrates empathy and offers support by acknowledging the client's feelings and offering to sit with them.
Choice C also shows empathy and provides an opportunity for the client to talk.
Choice D is non-therapeutic as it jumps to suggesting medication without exploring the client's emotions or needs.
