Question 1 of 5
The client says, 'My marriage is just great. My spouse and I usually agree on everything.' The nurse observes the client's foot moving continuously as the client twirls a shirt button. What type of communication is the client presenting?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Incongruent message. The client's verbal message of a great marriage contradicts the nonverbal cues of foot movement and button twirling, indicating inner conflict or discomfort. This incongruence suggests the client may not truly believe their marriage is great. A: Abstract message refers to general or theoretical ideas, not applicable here. B: Concrete message would involve clear, direct communication, not present in this scenario. D: Congruent message would align verbal and nonverbal cues, which is not the case here.
