LPN ATI mental Health ( 49 Questions)
A nurse on a mental health unit is participating in a community meeting with a group of clients. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Orienting clients to their responsibilities on the unit is an important task, but it is not specific to the context of a community meeting. It is more relevant during individual client orientations or at the beginning of their admission.
Focusing on client weaknesses to increase adaptation is not a therapeutic approach. It is important to focus on clients' strengths and support their growth and development rather than emphasizing weaknesses.
Planning to discuss any topic presented by clients can be unfeasible or not relevant in a community meeting. It is essential to have structure and purpose in group discussions to facilitate meaningful interactions.
Respecting and honoring the autonomy of the clients is important in a mental health setting. Allowing clients to determine the boundaries of the nurse-client relationship empowers them to have control over their own treatment and fosters a sense of autonomy. It encourages clients to express their needs, preferences, and comfort levels in the therapeutic relationship, which can contribute to a more collaborative and effective treatment process.
The other options mentioned are not appropriate actions for the nurse to take:
