The client verbalizes, “I’m nothing.” Which of the following is the most appropriate response by the nurse aide?
  1. “Are you suggesting that you feel worthless?”
  2. “Of course, you’re everything.”
  3. “That’s not true.”
  4. “You should not feel that way.”
Explanation
Answer: A - Responding with, “Are you suggesting that you feel worthless?” is an appropriate communication technique because it attempts to translate the client’s remark into feelings. Using denial (Choice B), disagreeing (Choice C), and advising (Choice D) are not appropriate responses and do not elicit therapeutic outcomes.
