Communication and Documentation Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is preparing a client for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). After the client signs the informed consent form for the procedure, a family member states, 'I don't think that this ECT will be helpful, especially since it makes people's memory worse.' What form of communication should the nurse implement to address the family member's concern?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Involving the family member in a dialog allows the nurse to understand their concerns and provide accurate information about ECT, addressing misconceptions about memory loss. Option 1 shifts focus away from the family member's concern, option 2 provides premature reassurance without exploring the concern, and option 4 makes an assumption about the cause of memory impairment without addressing the family member's specific worry.
