Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has borderline personality disorder (BPD). As part of the client's plan of care,the nurse reviews the day's schedule with the client each morning. As the nurse begins to review the schedule with the client the client says Why don't you shut up already? I can read it myself, you know! Which of the following responses should the nurse give the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct response is A: "I don't like it when you address me with that tone of voice." This response sets a boundary by addressing the client's inappropriate tone while expressing the nurse's feelings in a non-confrontational manner. It acknowledges the client's behavior without escalating the situation.
Choice B: "I know you can, but are you going to read it or not?" is dismissive and may further provoke the client.
Choice C: "Fine. Here is the schedule, and I will expect you to be on time to your therapies." does not address the client's disrespectful behavior and fails to set boundaries.
Choice D: "We do this every day. Why are you so angry with me this morning?" is confrontational and may escalate the situation.
In summary, response A is the most appropriate as it addresses the client's behavior, sets a boundary, and maintains a professional yet assertive approach.
