Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a mental health clinic is attempting to develop a therapeutic relationship with a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Set limits for the relationship. In a therapeutic relationship, setting boundaries and limits is crucial to establish a safe and professional environment. This helps the client understand the expectations and maintain appropriate behavior. By setting limits, the nurse can ensure a therapeutic focus and prevent any potential harm or misunderstandings.
Choice B (Promote the use of transference by the client) is incorrect because encouraging transference can lead to unrealistic expectations and hinder the therapeutic process.
Choice C (Instruct the client on how he should behave) is incorrect as it undermines the client's autonomy and may create a power dynamic.
Choice D (Engage in friendly interactions with the client) is incorrect as it blurs professional boundaries and may lead to a lack of objectivity.
