A nurse is teaching a client who was diagnosed with prolonged grief disorder about the importance of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?

 

Rationale:

A. The medication administration record is important for verifying the order but should be used in conjunction with the patient’s identification.

B. The order sheet provides the details of the blood product to be administered but is not the primary source for verifying patient identity.

C. The chart includes medical history and orders but does not provide direct patient identification for blood administration.

D. The identification wristband is the primary and most direct method for verifying the patient’s identity to ensure that the correct blood product is administered to the correct patient.

Rationale:

A. Contacting the provider for directions may be necessary in some cases, but it does not directly demonstrate grief-informed care, which involves understanding and addressing the emotional needs of the grieving client.

B. Supporting the client's privacy is important, but avoiding discussions about the loss may prevent the client from processing their grief, which is not aligned with grief-informed care.

C. Standing while speaking and keeping the door open can make the client feel uncomfortable or unsupported during a vulnerable time. Grief-informed care emphasizes creating a supportive and empathetic environment.

D. Acknowledging and recognizing that the client has experienced a loss is a key component of grief-informed care. It validates the client's feelings and opens the door for further support and therapeutic interventions.
