Question 113 of 130
A nurse is leading a family therapy session for a mother, father, and two adolescent siblings. Which of the
following statements should the nurse recognize as an example of effective communication among family
members?
• “Can you tell me the reason you get upset each time I go to the mall?” (Correct Answer)
• “If you keep saying that, I will tell everyone what you did last night.”
• “Please do not raise your voice at the children. I am the one who left dishes in the sink.” • “She is always
bossing me around. Should she do that?”
Explanation:
The statement “Can you tell me the reason you get upset each time I go to the mall?” is an example of
effective communication because it invites an open dialogue and encourages the individual to express
their feelings and concerns. This promotes a healthy, respectful conversation. The other statements
either involve blame, threats, or passive-aggressive behavior, which are not constructive for effective

communication in family therapy. Effective communication should focus on understanding, empathy, and
conflict resolution.
Question 42 of 130
A nurse is caring for a client who is extremely suspicious of the nursing staff and other clients. Which of the
following actions is appropriate when establishing a therapeutic relationship with this client?
• Wait for the client to initiate interaction.
• Adopt a neutral attitude when providing care. (Correct Answer)
• Disclose some personal information to the client to demonstrate approachability.
• Approach the client frequently throughout the day for brief interactions.
Explanation:
When working with a client who is suspicious, it is essential for the nurse to adopt a neutral attitude to build trust.
Being neutral and non-confrontational helps prevent the client from feeling threatened or further suspicious. It is
not advisable to disclose personal information, as this may blur professional boundaries. Additionally, while
frequent brief interactions are helpful, it is important to respect the client’s need for space and avoid overwhelming
them by forcing interactions. Waiting for the client to initiate interaction is also an option, but establishing a neutral,
non-threatening environment is key to developing trust.

When discharging a child with a new prescription for an antibiotic, it is important to provide comprehensive
information for the caregiver.
1. The adverse effects of the medication: This is crucial to ensure that the caregiver can recognize and
manage potential side effects.
2. Stopping the medication when the child feels better: This is a common mistake that could lead to antibiotic
resistance. It is important to emphasize that the full course should be completed to ensure the infection is
fully treated.
Written information about the medication: Providing written information helps the caregiver remember the
instructions and reinforce understanding
The reason why the child is taking the medication is essential for understanding but not directly related to the
discharge instructions about the medication itself. Similarly, using a kitchen spoon to administer medication is
unsafe, as it does not provide an accurate dose. A proper measuring spoon or device should be used.
