ATI Mental Health Exam III Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the admission of a new client to the unit. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to build a rapport with the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Remain silent after asking the client a question to allow the client a chance to respond. This action allows the client time to process the question and respond at their own pace, showing respect for the client's thoughts and feelings. By remaining silent, the nurse demonstrates active listening and provides a supportive environment for the client to express themselves.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because avoiding eye contact, asking one-word answer questions, and having background music do not promote effective communication or rapport-building. It is essential for the nurse to engage in active listening and provide opportunities for the client to communicate openly and comfortably.
