Question 1 of 5
The rehabilitation nurse witnessed a postoperative client who had a coronary artery bypass graft and his spouse arguing after a rehabilitation session. Which would be the most appropriate therapeutic statement for the nurse to make to identify the feelings of the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Acknowledging the client's feelings without inserting your own values or judgments is a method of therapeutic communication. Therapeutic communication techniques assist with the flow of communication, and they always focus on the client. Option 1 is an open-ended statement that allows the client to verbalize, which gives the nurse a direction or clarification of the client's true feelings. The remaining options do not encourage verbalization by the client.
