A nurse is caring for a client who has substance use disorder who has expressed interest in receiving treatment to stop using. Which of the following Interventions is an example of a tertiary intervention strategy for this client?

A. While it's important to gather relevant information about the assault, asking open-ended questions about the perpetrator may not be the most appropriate approach initially.

B. Speaking softly helps to convey empathy and can make the client feel more comfortable and less threatened.

C. Direct eye contact can be perceived as intrusive or threatening, especially for individuals who have experienced trauma such as sexual assault.

D. Sitting next to the client rather than directly across can create a more relaxed and less intimidating atmosphere. This approach can help establish a sense of partnership and support, making the client feel more at ease.

B. This concept involves understanding how individuals respond to stressors and whether their coping strategies are effective in managing stress and promoting well-being. By assessing whether the client's responses to stress are adaptive (i.e., helpful and constructive) or maladaptive (i.e., harmful or ineffective), the nurse can tailor interventions to support the client in developing healthier coping mechanisms and managing stress more effectively.

A. Although understanding the client's perception of the stressors is important, labeling them as justified or unjustified may not fully capture the complexity of the client's experience or their individual response to stress.

C This concept involves evaluating the moral or ethical implications of the client's actions or decisions in response to stressors.

D. While assessing the client's behaviors and their impact on health and well-being is important, labeling them as inherently good or bad may oversimplify the complexity of the client's experience.
