Question 1 of 5

When the home care nurse arrives, the client with a diagnosis of emphysema is smoking. Which statement by the nurse would be most therapeutic?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Clients with emphysema must avoid smoking and all airborne irritants. The nurse who observes a maladaptive behavior in a client should not make judgmental comments and should instead explore an adaptive strategy with the client without being overly controlling. This will place the decision making in the client's hands and provide an avenue for the client to share what may be expressions of frustration about an inability to stop what is essentially a physiological addiction. Option 1 is an intrusive use of sarcastic humor that is degrading to the client. Option 2 is a disciplinary remark and places a barrier between the nurse and the client within the therapeutic relationship. In option 4, the nurse preaches and is judgmental.
