Question 1 of 5
A nurse is using active listening as a form of therapeutic communication when:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because using eye contact and maintaining an open stance while the client is talking demonstrates active listening. Eye contact shows attentiveness and respect, while an open stance conveys empathy and receptiveness. This non-verbal communication encourages the client to feel heard and understood, fostering a therapeutic relationship.
Choice A is incorrect because using humor may not always align with the client's feelings or be perceived as appropriate.
Choice B is incorrect as restating what the client said is a form of paraphrasing, not active listening.
Choice D is incorrect because providing personal information can shift the focus away from the client's needs and may breach professional boundaries.
