Question 1 of 5
A patient tells the nurse during an admission interview that his wife "went on to her reward." The nurse assesses that this statement is an indication that the patient:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The patient using the term "went on to her reward" indicates discomfort with the term "death" and is using a euphemism. This choice is correct because the patient is avoiding directly acknowledging the death of his wife by using a more positive and less harsh term. This suggests a coping mechanism to soften the reality of the situation.
Incorrect choices:
A: Is no longer grieving the death of his wife - This is incorrect because the patient's use of euphemism does not necessarily indicate that he is not grieving.
B: Has a strong religious belief system - While this could be a possibility, the specific language used by the patient points more towards discomfort with the term "death" rather than a strong religious belief system.
D: Has dysfunctional grieving and is unable to address his wife's death - There is no indication in the statement that the patient is unable to address his wife's death; he is simply using a euphemism.
