Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse explains to the family of a patient who is mentally ill how the nurse-patient relationship differs from social relationships. Which is the best explanation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the nurse-patient relationship in mental health nursing is client-centered, focusing on empowering the patient to take an active role in their own care. By discussing problems together but implementing solutions by the patient, the nurse encourages autonomy and self-efficacy. This approach fosters the patient's independence and promotes self-management of their mental health.
Choice A is incorrect because it implies the nurse solves the patient's problems, which can undermine the patient's autonomy.
Choice B is incorrect as it emphasizes socialization over the patient's individual needs.
Choice C is incorrect because it suggests an equal partnership, which may not always be appropriate in mental health nursing where the patient may require more guidance and support.
