A client can be involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric facility for the following reasons: (Select all that apply)

This statement by the student nurse demonstrates the technique of stating the implied and seeing the client's behavior. The student nurse has observed the client pacing the halls and having a tense look on their face, which implies that the client may be feeling anxious. By stating this observation to the client, the student nurse is validating the client's experience and opening a dialogue about their feelings. This technique can help the client feel heard and understood and can facilitate a therapeutic relationship between the client and the nurse.

Option B is an open-ended question that can encourage the client to share more about their feelings, but it does not demonstrate the technique of stating the implied and making an observation about the client's behavior.

Option C is a statement that may be perceived as judgmental or confrontational and does not demonstrate the technique of stating the implied and making an observation about the client's behavior.

Option D is a statement that is focused on the nurse's agenda rather than the client's needs and does not demonstrate the technique of stating the implied and seeing the client's behavior.

As a healthcare provider, it is important to respect and support the cultural and religious practices of our patients. In this case, the patients have expressed a desire to follow the same prayer schedule they did prior to admission, and it is our responsibility to accommodate their request to the best of our abilities.

Option b, suggesting that the patients learn another prayer, may not be appropriate as it implies that their current prayer practices are not valid or important.

Option c, suggesting that they can go back to their regular prayer schedule after discharge, ignores their current needs and may cause unnecessary stress or discomfort.

Option d, dismissing their request and saying "you are in America now" is disrespectful and inappropriate.

Therefore, the best response is a, asking how we can accommodate the patients' prayer time, showing respect for their cultural and religious beliefs and willingness to support their needs.
