Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has schizophrenia and is experiencing auditory hallucinations. The client states,“Those voices are telling me to do bad things.” Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct response is C: "Let’s focus on something else to distract you from the voices." This response is appropriate as it helps the client shift attention away from the auditory hallucinations, which can reduce distress. It acknowledges the client's experience without reinforcing the content of the hallucinations. Option A is incorrect as it dismisses the client's experience. Option B may inadvertently amplify the hallucinations. Option D is empathetic but doesn't address coping strategies.
