Hesi lpn exit proctored exam
At the first dressing change, the practical nurse (PN) tells the client that her mastectomy incision is healing well, but the client refuses to look at the incision and refuses to talk about it. Which response by the PN to the client's silence is best?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Would you like me to call another nurse to be here while I show you the wound?: May feel pressured; not supportive. B. Part of recovery is accepting your new body image and you will need to look at your incision: Judgmental and may increase resistance. C. You will feel better when you see that the incision is not as bad as you may think: Assumes feelings; not therapeutic. D. It's OK if you don't want to look or talk about the mastectomy. I will be available when you're ready: Acknowledges client’s feelings and leaves door open for readiness.
