ATI Medical Surgical Nursing, End-of-Life Care
Document Content and Description Below
MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. The client tells the nurse that even though it has been 4 months since her sister’s death, she frequently finds herself crying uncontrollably. The client is afraid that she is... “losing her mind.” What is the nurse’s best response? a. b. c. d. ANS: D “Most people move on within a few months. You should see a grief counselor.” “Whenever you start to cry, distract yourself from thoughts of your sister.” “You should try not to cry. I’m sure your sister is in a better place now.” “Your feelings are completely normal and may continue for a long time.” Frequent crying is not an abnormal response. The nurse should let the client know that this is normal and okay. Although the client may benefit from talking with a grief counselor, it is not unusual for her to still be grieving after a few months. The other responses are not as therapeutic because they justify or minimize the client’s response.
