Question 1 of 5

A nurse observes a client sitting alone in her room crying. As the nurse approaches her, the client states, 'I'm feeling sad. I don't want to talk now.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. It will help you feel better if you talk about it.' B. Come on out and get involved with the game the other clients are playing.' C. I'll stay with you for a few minutes.' D. I'll come back when you feel like talking.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: It will help you feel better if you talk about it.' While talking can be therapeutic, pushing the client to talk when they're not ready may be counterproductive and increase their distress. 'Come on out and get involved with the game the other clients are playing.' Encouraging the client to engage in activities may not be suitable when she is expressing a need for solitude and is not ready to participate. 'I'll stay with you for a few minutes.' This response reflects the nurse's willingness to provide support without pressuring the client to talk. It acknowledges the client's feelings and offers a comforting and nonintrusive presence. It respects the client's desire for solitude while still showing empathy and availability. 'I'll come back when you feel like talking.' This response leaves the client alone, which may be appropriate if that's what the client prefers. However, offering to stay for a few minutes communicates immediate support without pressure.
