Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a gonococcal infection and has been prescribed an IM injection of ceftriaxone. The client refuses the medication because they are afraid of needles. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct response is A: "I will discuss other treatment options with your provider." This response shows respect for the client's autonomy and addresses their fear of needles by exploring alternative treatment options. It also indicates collaboration with the healthcare provider to find a solution that is acceptable to the client.
B: This response is coercive and does not respect the client's autonomy, which may lead to further refusal of treatment.
C: While this response provides reassurance about the pain level, it does not address the client's fear of needles and may not alleviate their concerns.
D: This response is a form of coercion and may create a barrier to effective communication and trust between the nurse and the client.
In summary, response A is the most appropriate as it respects the client's autonomy, addresses their fear, and promotes collaborative decision-making.
