Caring for a Patient Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is bathing a client when the client begins to cry. Which action by the nurse is therapeutic at this time?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: If a client begins to cry, the nurse should stay with the client and let the client know that it is all right to cry. The nurse should ask the client what the client is thinking or feeling at the time. By continuing the bath or by leaving the client, the nurse appears to be ignoring the client's feelings. Crying alone is not necessarily an indication of depression, and calling the primary health care provider is a premature action.
