Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has right-sided hemiplegia following a recent stroke. Which of the following questions should the nurse ask to determine the client’s ability to cope?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "How has this impacted your life?" This question allows the nurse to assess the client's emotional and psychological response to the stroke, providing insight into their coping mechanisms. It opens up communication for the client to express their feelings and concerns, enabling the nurse to offer appropriate support and interventions.
Choice A is incorrect as it assumes the client is not okay with the situation, potentially leading to a negative response.
Choice B focuses on practical assistance rather than emotional coping.
Choice D is incorrect as it delves into the cause of the stroke, which may not be relevant to the client's coping abilities.
