Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has pelvic inflammatory disease as a consequence of a sexually transmitted infection, and will need intravenous antibiotic therapy. The client tells the nurse, 'My parents think I am a virgin. I don't think I can tell them I have this kind of an infection.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "You seem scared to talk to your parents." This response acknowledges the client's feelings without making any assumptions or judgments. It shows empathy and creates a supportive environment for the client to open up about their concerns. It is important for the nurse to address the client's emotions and provide reassurance before discussing any further steps.
Incorrect answers:
A: Offering to inform the parents without the client's consent violates confidentiality and autonomy.
C: Making a statement about the necessity of informing parents does not address the client's emotional state and may cause further distress.
D: Assuming the parents will understand does not validate the client's feelings and may not be true in all situations.
