Question 1 of 5
A home health nurse is caring for a client who reports feeling tired and being unable to grocery shop. Which of the following responses by the nurse is an example of therapeutic communication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "Let's discuss how to get you the help you need." This response demonstrates therapeutic communication by acknowledging the client's concerns, expressing willingness to help, and initiating a collaborative discussion to address the client's needs effectively.
Option A is incorrect as suggesting medication without further assessment is not therapeutic. Option B is dismissive and minimizes the client's feelings. Option C implies the client should rely on family rather than addressing the issue directly.
In summary, option D is the best choice as it shows empathy, offers support, and encourages open communication to address the client's needs effectively.
