Questions

1.ID: 283624726

The client is the wife of a former workaholic who now has not worked in years, refusing to get a job
or help with chores around the house. The man watches television and snacks all day. The client
tells the nurse that her husband now weighs more than 300 lb and expects her to support him. The
client states, “I keep saying everything will be fine. It will be if he keeps up these bad health habits,
because they’ll kill him, and then I would be free and wouldn’t have to deal with his obnoxious
behavior.” Which negative stress response does the nurse recognize in the client’s behavior?

Blaming Incorrect

High
Daydreaming



Problem- solving



Wishful thinking Correct



Rationale: Wishful thinking, a negative stress response, involves the belief that everything will work
out and resolve itself. Blaming involves placing the reason for a particular occurrence on another
person or object. Daydreaming is thinking but not necessarily verbalizing. Problem-solving involves
the use of a systematic plan to work through problems.

Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination and focus on the information in the question.
Noting the words “and then I would be free and wouldn’t have to deal with his obnoxious behavior”
will direct you to the correct option. Review the stress responses if you had difficulty with this
question.

2.ID: 283625216

A 35-year-old client says to the nurse, “I got divorced less than a year after getting married. I left the
Navy SEALs shortly after I joined. Now I teach in the air marshal program to avoid being recalled for
war, but I’d really like to quit. I start something, am great at it, then get bored and move on. I date,
but I’m still living at home. I never seem to be on my own like other guys my age.” Which response
by the nurse is most appropriate?

“You made the Navy SEALs but can’t live on your own like an adult and can’t stick with


anything.”

“Can you tell me more about your marriage and relationships? If you leave home, what do


you fear will happen?” Correct

“You have many years to find a new relationship, but moving out of your parents’ home is


a first step to growing up.”

“When will your mother let you go? Seems to me that jobs have come easy to you but that


you can’t grow up and separate from your parents.”

Rationale: The client in the question admits his inability to maintain personal and work relationships
and seems unable to leave home. The correct option focuses on the client’s concerns. In stating,
“You made the Navy SEALs but can’t live on your own like an adult and can’t stick with anything,”
the nurse starts by recognizing the client’s achievement but then diminishes it by nontherapeutically
and sarcastically accusing the client of not being able to stick with anything and being unable to
grow up. In stating, “You have many years to find a new relationship, but moving out of your parents’
home is a first step to growing up,” the nurse uses labeling. In asking, “When will your mother let you
go? Seems to me that jobs have come easy to you but that you can’t grow up and separate from
your parents,” the nurse is premature in judging what is happening to this client. It is nontherapeutic
to label the client’s struggles as not growing up. The client may interpret this as ridicule.

Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination and your knowledge of therapeutic
communication techniques. Eliminate the options that are comparable or alike and indicate that the
client is “not growing up.” Review therapeutic communication techniques if you had difficulty with this
question.
