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: D
Rationale: The correct response is D: I will discuss other treatment options with your provider. This is the best choice because it shows empathy towards the client's fear of needles and acknowledges their concerns. The nurse is committed to finding an alternative treatment that the client is comfortable with, ensuring the client receives the necessary care while respecting their autonomy. This response promotes a collaborative approach to care and maintains a therapeutic nurse-client relationship.
Other choices are incorrect:
A: This response minimizes the client's fear but does not address the underlying issue of the client's refusal.
B: This response is coercive and does not consider the client's feelings, which can lead to non-compliance.
C: This response is threatening and may cause the client to feel guilt or fear, which is not conducive to effective communication.
E, F, G: These choices are not relevant to the situation and do not address the client's specific concerns.
