    ATI LPN MENTAL HEALTH PROCTORED EXAM

    A nurse is caring for a client who has binge-eating disorder. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take during the termination phase of the nurse-client relationship?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Review treatment goals that have been accomplished. In the termination phase of the nurse-client relationship, it is essential to evaluate and review the progress made towards the treatment goals. This helps reinforce the client's achievements and prepares them for future independence. B. Introduce the concept of discharge planning. While discharge planning is important, it is typically discussed earlier in the nursing process rather than during the termination phase. By this point, the client should already be aware of their discharge plans. C. Gather data about the client's home situation. This action is more appropriate during the initial assessment phase or when planning care, rather than during termination. The focus should be on reflecting on progress and preparing for discharge. D. Provide personal contact information to the client for use in case of emergency. This is not appropriate in the termination phase, as it can blur professional boundaries and may not adhere to nursing ethical standards. Instead, referrals to appropriate resources should be provided.
