Question 1 of 5

A client who experienced a myocardial infarction (MI) 4 days ago refuses to dangle at the bedside, saying, 'If my doctor tells me to do it, I will. Otherwise, I won't.' Which behavior should the nurse determine that the client is displaying?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Clients may experience numerous emotional and behavioral responses after an MI. Dependency is one response that may be manifested by the client's refusal to perform any tasks or activities unless specifically approved by the primary health care provider. Although the client's statement may express anger to some degree, it most specifically addresses dependency. There are no data in the question to support denial or depression.
