Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse and client are engaged in a discussion. The client says, 'I feel really close to you. You are the only true friend I have.' Which response by the nurse would be most therapeutic?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct response is C because it acknowledges the client's feelings in a positive manner, validating their trust and emphasizing the importance of the therapeutic relationship. This helps to maintain a supportive and open communication environment, essential for effective client-nurse interaction.
Choice A may come across as dismissive, potentially hindering the building of rapport.
Choice B is too abrupt and could be perceived as cold or uncaring.
Choice D minimizes the client's feelings and may invalidate their emotions. It is important for the nurse to acknowledge the client's emotions without crossing professional boundaries, making choice C the most therapeutic response in this scenario.
