Question 1 of 5
A client with the diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism states to the nurse, 'I can't stay on this diet. It is too difficult for me.' Which therapeutic response by the nurse is best when intervening in this situation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: By paraphrasing the client's statement, the nurse can encourage the client to verbalize emotions. The nurse also sends feedback to the client that the message was understood. An open-ended statement or question such as this prompts a thorough response from the client. Option 1 requests information that the client may not be able to express. Option 2 devalues the client's feelings. Option 4 gives advice, which blocks communication.
