Version 1
Which instruction would the nurse give a patient who is able to assist with
transfer from a bed to a wheelchair using a transfer belt?
A. "When I count to three, please rock yourself into a standing position."
B. "Please hold on to my waist while I help you stand."
C. "Please tell me how I can best help you get up off the bed and stand up."
D. "Please push down onto the mattress with both hands and stand when I count
to three." - ANSWER-D (Telling the patient to push against the mattress is the
best instruction the nurse can give because it teaches the patient how to help
achieve a standing position during the transfer. The patient and nurse rock
together for three counts. The patient would not be instructed to hold on to the
nurse's waist. Doing so is not a safe action. Asking the patient to advise the
nurse does not instruct the patient on moving from the bed to a wheelchair.)

this statement?
a. Situation
b. Background
c. Assessment
d. Recommendation - ANSWER-B (Parts of a patient's background include

when it happened or began, how severe the patient's response is--for example:

Your interpretation of what is happening to the patient would fall in what
category of SBAR?
a. Situation
b. Background
c. Assessment
d. Recommendation - ANSWER-C (The assessment part of SBAR includes
telling the health care provider what you think the problem is.)
A nurse calls the health care provider for their patient and suggests that an EKG
be ordered for the patient. Which part of SBAR does this represent?
a. Situation
b. Background
c. Assessment
d. Recommendation - ANSWER-D (Recommendation involves
suggesting/requesting that the HCP order certain tests, a change in the patient's
treatment, a higher level of care is needed (Ex. referral to a specialist) and

information.)
,The nurse asks a newly admitted client, "What can we do to help you?" What is
the purpose of this therapeutic communication technique?
a. To reframe the client's thoughts about mental health treatment
b. To put the client at ease
c. To explore a subject, idea, experience, or relationship
d. To communicate that the nurse is listening to the conversation - ANSWER-C
(This is an example of the therapeutic communication technique of exploring.
The purpose of using exploring is to delve further into the subject, idea,
experience, or relationship. This technique is especially helpful with clients who
tend to remain on a superficial level of communication.)
Which nursing statement is a good example of the therapeutic communication
technique of focusing?
a. "Describe one of the best things that happened to you this week."
b. "I'm having a difficult time understanding what you mean."
c. "Your counseling session is in 30 minutes. I'll stay with you until then."
d. "You mentioned your relationship with your father. Let's discuss that further."
- ANSWER-D (This is an example of the therapeutic communication technique
of focusing. Focusing takes notice of a single idea or even a single word and
works especially well with a client who is moving rapidly from one thought to
another.)
During a nurse-client interaction, which nursing statement may belittle the
client's feelings and concerns?
a. "Don't worry. Everything will be alright."
b. "You appear uptight."
c. "I notice you have bitten your nails to the quick."
, d. "You are jumping to conclusions." - ANSWER-A (This nursing statement is
an example of the nontherapeutic communication block of belittling feelings.
Belittling feelings occur when the nurse misjudges the degree of the client's
discomfort, thus a lack of empathy and understanding may be conveyed.)
A client on an inpatient psychiatric unit tells the nurse, "I should have died
because I am totally worthless." In order to encourage the client to continue
talking about feelings, which should be the nurse's initial response?

b. "You feel worthless now, but that can change with time."
c. "You've been feeling sad and alone for some time now?"
d. "It is great that you have come in for help." - ANSWER-C (This nursing
statement is an example of the therapeutic communication technique of
reflection. When reflection is used, questions and feelings are referred back to
the client so that they may be recognized and accepted.)
Which therapeutic communication technique should the nurse use when
communicating with a client who is experiencing auditory hallucinations?
a. "My sister has the same diagnosis as you and she also hears voices."
b. "I understand that the voices seem real to you, but I do not hear any voices."
c. "Why not turn up the radio so that the voices are muted."
d. "I wouldn't worry about these voices. The medication will make them
disappear." - ANSWER-B (This is an example of the therapeutic
communication technique of presenting reality. Presenting reality is when the
client has a misperception of the environment. The nurse defines reality or
indicates his or her perception of the situation for the client.)
