Marsha, a registered nurse, is caring for Mrs. Mitchell, who is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Mr. Mitchell approaches the nurse in private and tells her that he does not believe that his wife has the disorder. Which of the following is the best action of Marsha?
  1. Assess for signs of domestic abuse.
  2. Provide the husband with information about post-traumatic stress disorder.
  3. Teach the couple about problem solving.
  4. Discuss the husband’s thoughts about the diagnosis.
Explanation
Answer: B - The best action of the nurse is to provide the husband with information about post-traumatic stress disorder. Facilitating understanding about PTSD encourages the husband to participate in the client’s care more readily. Problem solving does not help clarify the concern. The nurse may discuss the husband’s thoughts about the diagnosis after providing information about PTSD.
