Rn Hesi Mental Health Proctored Exam 1
A female client reports feeling hopeless and is unable to stop crying. She explains that she is worried about losing her job. Since the client's husband recently lost his job, she feels her employment is essential to the family's survival. To evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral techniques, which client outcome should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Explanation & Rationale
A) Cognitive-behavioral techniques aim to identify and change dysfunctional thought patterns, particularly those related to problem-solving and coping skills. B) While involving the family in problem-solving may be helpful, the primary focus is on the client's ability to manage her own distress. C) Gaining insight into relationships is important but may not directly address the client's immediate distress or evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral techniques. D) Demonstrating a healthy relationship with her husband may be a long-term goal but may not directly evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral techniques in managing the client's current distress.
