Question 1 of 5
How can the nurse best communicate to a client that he or she has been listening?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The best way for the nurse to communicate to a client that he or she has been listening is by restating the main feeling or thought the client has expressed. Restating helps the client validate the nurse's understanding of the communication, demonstrating active listening skills. Making judgments about the client's problem, as suggested in
Choice B, can hinder effective communication by introducing bias and potential misinterpretation. Offering a leading question like in
Choice C is not ideal for confirming understanding; it rather seeks more information.
Choice D, simply saying 'I understand what you're saying,' may not convey active listening as effectively as restating the client's main feelings or thoughts, as it lacks the validation component present in restating.
