A 4-year-old child is admitted to the hospital after his family was in a car crash, where his parents died. The child keeps asking you to bring his parents back to life. The nurse knows that:
This is a normal reaction
The child is delusional and may have suffered a concussion as a result of the crash
The child is depressed
The child has not seen a person die before
This is a normal reaction for a young child, who may not fully understand death. These requests are not necessarily indicative of delusion or depression.
A client calls the clinic and tells the nurse that her daughter has just been stung by a bee on the arm. She is worried that her daughter will have a severe reaction. What should the nurse do?
Tell the client to call back if the condition worsens
Ask the client if her daughter has ever been stung by a bee in the past
Instruct the client to keep the arm elevated until swelling goes away
Advise the client to bring her daughter to the emergency room
The nurse does not have reason to suspect that the child will have an allergic reaction before symptoms are present. Thus, the patient should call back or come to the emergency room if symptoms present.

The client in the termination phase of the nurse-client relationship is being very confrontational. How should the nurse interpret this behavior?
This behavior is common for a client in the termination phase
The patient should be admitted to the hospital
The treatment should revisit the working phase
The nurse has done something to offend the client
Confrontational behavior is very common for a client in the termination phase. The nurse should not assume that she offended the client, and further action in terms of therapy should not be addressed until completing the termination phase.
