Collaborative Care in the Community Setting ( 4 Questions)
A nurse is conducting a home visit for a client who has diabetes mellitus and hypertension. The nurse notices that the client has several empty bottles of soda and bags of chips on the kitchen counter. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
This is an incorrect option, as it is a directive statement that may sound judgmental or accusatory, and may elicit resistance or defensiveness from the client. The nurse should avoid using "should" statements and instead use motivational interviewing techniques to elicit change talk from the client.
The nurse should use an open-ended question to assess the client's dietary habits and preferences, as well as any barriers or challenges that may affect their food choices. This can help the nurse identify areas for education and intervention, and provide individualized and client-centered care.
This is an incorrect option, as it is an informative statement that may not address the client's readiness or motivation for change. The nurse should avoid providing information without first assessing the client's knowledge level and interest in learning.
This is an incorrect option, as it is a premature action that may not reflect the client's goals or preferences. The nurse should avoid making referrals without first exploring the client's needs and expectations.
