A nurse in a provider's office is caring for a client who has total vision loss and is the handler of a service dog.
Which of the following actions should the nurse take to show consideration for the client and the service animal?
Pet the dog briefly to demonstrate acceptance.
Consult the client before approaching the dog.
Offer the dog a bowl of water to demonstrate caring.
Command the dog to sit while talking with the client.
The Correct Answer is B
The nurse should consult the client before approaching the dog.
Service dogs are working animals and it is important to respect their role and the handler’s wishes.
Choice A is wrong because petting the dog briefly to demonstrate acceptance could distract the dog from its duties.
Choice C is wrong because offering the dog a bowl of water without consulting the client first could interfere with the dog’s training or schedule.
Choice D is wrong because commanding the dog to sit while talking with the client could confuse the dog and disrupt its training.
