Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a hospital is caring for a client who has agoraphobia. Which of the following statements by the client indicates understanding of the goals of treatment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I plan to sit on a park bench for a few minutes each day." This statement indicates that the client understands the exposure therapy component of treating agoraphobia. Exposure therapy involves gradually facing feared situations to reduce anxiety. Sitting on a park bench signifies a step towards facing open spaces, a common fear in agoraphobia. The other choices do not demonstrate a clear understanding of the treatment goals.
Choice A involves a social activity, which may not directly target the client's fear of open spaces.
Choice C suggests avoidance, which is counterproductive in treating agoraphobia.
Choice D mentions group therapy, which is beneficial but does not specifically address exposure to feared situations.
