Question 1 of 5
The charge nurse is talking with another nurse who states, 'I feel like my clients have no interest in their care and do not care that I am trying to help.' Which response should the charge nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct Answer: B - "Have you tried to establish a therapeutic relationship with the clients?"
Rationale: Establishing a therapeutic relationship is essential in nursing to build trust, rapport, and mutual understanding with clients. By asking the nurse if they have tried this approach, the charge nurse is addressing the root cause of the issue - lack of connection with the clients. This response encourages the nurse to reflect on their communication and interpersonal skills, which can improve client engagement and cooperation.
Incorrect Answers:
A: This response dismisses the nurse's feelings and does not address the underlying issue of building relationships with clients.
C: This response jumps to replacing the nurse without exploring ways to improve the current situation through communication and support.
D: While pain may be a factor in client behavior, assuming pain is the sole reason overlooks the importance of communication and relationship-building in nursing care.
