Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client who expresses feelings of grief for his earlier life. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to help the client cope with his feelings of loss?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Listen attentively when the client talks about the past. By actively listening to the client, the nurse demonstrates empathy and validates the client's feelings of grief. This can help the client feel understood and supported, promoting emotional healing and coping with the loss.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly address the client's emotional needs or provide meaningful support.
Choice B minimizes the client's feelings by suggesting it is a common issue, choice C distracts the client from processing emotions, and choice D may come off as dismissive or insensitive. It's important for the nurse to prioritize active listening and emotional support to help the client cope effectively.
