Question 1 of 5

A postoperative client has been vomiting and has absent bowel sounds, and paralytic ileus has been diagnosed. The primary health care provider prescribes the insertion of a nasogastric tube. The nurse explains the purpose of the tube and the insertion procedure to the client. The client says to the nurse, 'I'm not sure I can take any more of this treatment.' Which therapeutic response should the nurse make to the client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In option 3, the nurse uses empathy. Empathy, comprehending, and sharing a client's frame of reference are important components of the nurse-client relationship. This assists clients with expressing and exploring feelings, which can lead to problem-solving. The other options are examples of barriers to effective communication, including option 1, which is stereotyping; option 2, which is defensiveness; and option 4, which is showing disapproval.
