When a patient states, "I don't feel like walking today," the nurse's most therapeutic verbal response would be:
"I don't feel like walking today either."This response shifts the focus from the patient to the nurse and does not encourage further discussion about the patient's reluctance or explore the reasons behind it.
"You have to walk today."This statement sounds forceful and dismissive, and may make the patient feel pressured rather than supported. It does not invite dialogue or provide understanding.
"Why don't you want to walk today?"This question can sound judgmental and may put the patient on the defensive. A more neutral response would help the nurse understand the patient's reluctance without pressure.
"You don't want to walk today?"This response reflects the patient's own words back, validating their feelings and opening up the opportunity for the patient to explain their reasons. It is empathetic and nonjudgmental, which encourages therapeutic communication.
