The nurse can best communicate to a client that he or she has been listening by:
A.
restating the main feeling or thought the client has expressed.
B.
making a judgment about the client’s problem.
C.
offering a leading question such as, “And then what happened?”
D.
saying, “I understand what you’re saying.”
The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Restating allows the client to validate the nurse’s understanding of what has been communicated. It’s an active listening technique. Regarding Choice 2, judgments should be suspended in a nurse-client relationship. Choice 3 is incorrect because leading questions ask for more information rather than showing understanding. Choice 4 communicates understanding, but the client has no way of measuring the understanding.PsychosocialIntegrity
