Question 1
A client whose adolescent son committed suicide by hanging himself in
the family’s garage says to the nurse, “The coroner just informed us
that our son had AIDS.” Which response to the client by the nurse is
appropriate?
“Your son had an autopsy because he committed suicide, but the
coroner didn’t have to tell you that he was ill.”
“Your poor son. How troubled he must have been. It’s a shame he
couldn’t talk to you and get some help.”
“You didn’t know that he had AIDS? How did he see the family health
care provider without your knowing?”
Correct!
“Your son was keeping a very troubling diagnosis to himself. I am so
sorry. No matter how close and loving children are to their parents,
some children just aren’t able to confide in their parents.”

Rationale: The therapeutic response is the one that makes
observations and is helpful in supporting the client as he or she
grieves. “You didn’t know he had AIDS? How did he see the
family health care provider without your knowing?” is a
redundant question that simply places emphasis on the client’s
not having the child’s confidence. It is also nontherapeutic,
because the nurse is changing the subject. “Your poor son. How
troubled he must have been. It’s a shame he couldn’t talk to you
and get some help” is nontherapeutic because it is social and
fosters a sense of guilt. In stating, “Your son had an autopsy
because he committed suicide, but the coroner didn’t have to tell
you that he was ill,” the nurse makes a social statement that
changes the focus and moves away from the client’s grief.
Test-Taking Strategy: The correct option is the only one that
shows supportiveness of the client. Review: measures for
providing support to a client who is grieving .

Question 2

The nurse is caring for a patient with a chronic illness who is having
conflicts with beliefs. Which health care team member will the nurse ask
to see this patient?
A social worker
An occupational therapist
A psychiatrist
Correct! The clergy
Other important resources to patients are spiritual advisors and
members of the clergy. Spiritual care helps people identify
meaning and purpose in life, look beyond the present, and
maintain personal relationships, as well as a relationship with a
higher being or life force. A psychiatrist is for emotional health. A
social worker focuses on social, financial, and community
resources. An occupational therapist provides care with
vocational issues and functioning within physical limitations.
