NCLEX RN Practice Question

A client who has recently been diagnosed with a chronic illness expresses feelings of sadness and helplessness during a conversation. Which response by the nurse demonstrates the use of therapeutic communication techniques?

  • Can you tell me more about what has been making you feel helpless?

  • You just need some time to adjust; things will start getting better soon.

  • I understand this must be hard for you, but many people learn to live with chronic illnesses.

  • You should try to focus on the things you can control instead of feeling helpless.
