Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client tells the nurse,"I feel bad because my mother does not want me to return home after I leave the hospital. Which nursing response is most therapeutic?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it reflects active listening and empathy towards the client's feelings. By restating the client's statement ("You feel that your mother does not want you to come back home"), the nurse validates the client's emotions and encourages further exploration and discussion. This response shows support and understanding without making assumptions or judgments.
Choice A is incorrect as it assumes the mother is understanding without knowing the full situation.
Choice B is invalidating and dismissive of the client's emotions.
Choice C puts pressure on the client to confront their mother without acknowledging their current emotional state.
