Question 1 of 5

When providing care to a client diagnosed with a mental disorder, the client asks the nurse, 'Does mental illness run in your family?' Which response by the nurse would be nontherapeutic?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because it shifts the focus from the client to the nurse's personal experience, which is nontherapeutic. The nurse's response should be client-centered, empathetic, and focused on the client's needs. Option A is therapeutic as it acknowledges the client's question and shares relevant professional experience. Option B is also therapeutic as it redirects the conversation back to the client. Option C is therapeutic as it reflects understanding and validation of the client's concerns. In contrast, option D is nontherapeutic as it overshadows the client's needs with the nurse's personal disclosure.
