NCLEX RN Practice Question

The correct answer focuses on empowering the client to feel involved in managing their condition and providing personalized support. Discussing the client’s feelings and concerns promotes therapeutic communication and allows the nurse to address specific stressors, fostering effective coping strategies. Suggesting the client join a support group is incorrect because, while it may be helpful in the long term, it does not address the immediate emotional and psychological needs. Providing a list of dietary restrictions without discussing emotions focuses only on the physical aspect of the diagnosis, ignoring the psychological impact. Encouraging the client to focus on how diabetes is manageable without exploring their immediate concerns does not validate the client’s feelings and may come across as dismissive.
