A client states, "I am worried about my insulin.

I have no money, and my insurance doesn't cover the insulin.

I can't control my sugar." The nurse responds by stating, "You are worried about affording insulin." What type of therapeutic communication is this an example of?

Collaborate with the client and provider to develop a client-centered plan of care.

It is important for the nurse to respect the client’s cultural and religious beliefs while also ensuring that his medical needs are met.

By collaborating with the client and his healthcare provider, the nurse can help develop a plan of care that takes into account the client’s desire to fast during Ramadan while also managing his diabetes.

Choice A) Educating the client that fasting is not an option is not respectful of the client’s beliefs and may not be effective in promoting adherence to treatment.

Choice B) Telling the client not to take his insulin the night before is not appropriate as it may result in uncontrolled blood sugar levels.

Choice C) Informing the client that he will need to change his lifestyle completely is not a client-centered approach and may not be effective in promoting adherence to treatment.

Locking the wheels of the wheelchair is a priority action of the nurse to ensure client safety during a transfer from the bed to a wheelchair.

This prevents the wheelchair from moving or rolling away during the transfer, which could result in injury to the client.

Choice B is not an appropriate response because ensuring the client is bathed before getting into the wheelchair is not directly related to client safety during the transfer.

Choice D is not an appropriate response because placing the bed in the trendelenburg position could make it more difficult for the client to transfer
