A client who sustained a recent injury expresses frustration and says, 'This is so unfair. I don't know how I'll ever get back to my normal life.' What is the most appropriate therapeutic response by the nurse?
You shouldn’t think negatively. Focus on staying positive, and everything will fall into place.
It sounds like you’re feeling overwhelmed. Can you tell me more about what’s worrying you?
Most people recover from this quickly. Let’s talk about your treatment plan instead.
You’ll be fine soon. Everyone has setbacks at some point in their life.
The correct answer is the one that reflects therapeutic communication techniques such as empathy, active listening, and validation of the client's feelings. Responses should avoid judgment, false reassurance, or dismissiveness. For example, reflecting on the client's emotions validates their experience, fosters a safe environment, and encourages further dialogue. Other responses may discourage the client from sharing or provide unhelpful feedback.
