Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who states, "I have got to get out of this hospital! They have found my address and are coming for my family!" The nurse responds, "Don't worry, no one will harm your family." Which of the following types of communication breakdown does the nurse's response represent?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Offering false reassurance. The nurse's response dismisses the client's concerns without offering any evidence or reassurance to support the claim that the client's family is safe. This can lead to a breakdown in communication by invalidating the client's feelings and failing to address the underlying fear and anxiety. By providing false reassurance, the nurse may prevent the client from expressing their concerns further, hindering effective communication and potential support.
Choices B, C, and D do not accurately reflect the breakdown in communication demonstrated in this scenario.
