A client states, "I am worried about my insulin. I have no money, and my insurance doesn't cover the insulin. I can't control my sugar." The nurse responds by stating "You are worried about affording insulin." What type of therapeutic communication is this an example of?

This statement acknowledges the client's feelings and shows that the nurse is interested in hearing more about their experience. It allows the client to share their emotions and concerns, which can help them to process their diagnosis and feel supported.

The other statements do not demonstrate empathy as effectively. "Tomorrow will be better" minimizes the client's current feelings and does not acknowledge the seriousness of the diagnosis. "I believe you can overcome this" focuses on the nurse's beliefs rather than the client's feelings. "What is your biggest fear about this diagnosis?" may be too direct and could put the client on the spot, potentially causing discomfort or anxiety.

The primary purpose of an incident report is to document any unexpected or unplanned event that occurs in a healthcare setting, including any adverse events or near misses that involve a patient, staff member, or visitor.

Incident reports are used to identify the underlying causes of an event, to help prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future, and to provide information that can be used to improve the quality and safety of care. Incident reports are not intended to assign blame or responsibility, but rather to gather information and identify opportunities for improvement.
