Question 1 of 5
What message is a patient sending when displaying the following body language: Slumped shoulders, grimace, and stiff joints?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Body language is a powerful form of non-verbal communication that can convey various emotions. In this scenario, the patient's slumped shoulders, grimace, and stiff joints suggest a negative emotional state. Anger is the correct answer because grimacing and tense posture are commonly associated with anger.
Choice B, 'Aloofness,' is incorrect as aloofness is more related to disinterest or detachment, which is not indicated by the described body language.
Choice C, 'Empathy,' is incorrect as the body language described does not align with expressing understanding or compassion towards others.
Choice D, 'Depression,' is incorrect as while depression can also manifest through body language, the specific cues given in the scenario lean more towards anger than depression.
