Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client’s communication patterns. The client states, 'My partner is always criticizing me.' This statement is an example of which of the following types of dysfunctional communication?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Generalizing. This client's statement of "my partner is always criticizing me" demonstrates generalizing by using the word "always," which implies a consistent negative behavior. This type of language can lead to miscommunication and can distort the actual situation. The other choices are incorrect: B: Manipulating implies controlling or influencing others, C: Distracting involves diverting attention away from the main issue, and D: Placating refers to appeasing or pacifying someone. In this scenario, the client's statement does not align with manipulation, distraction, or placation, making generalizing the most appropriate choice.
