Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nursing response that best assesses the situation that occurred is to ask the client to describe what happened during the time with her husband. This allows the nurse to gather more information about the situation, including the details of how the husband treated the client and what might have triggered the behavior. It also demonstrates active listening and empathy, which can help the client feel heard and supported. The other response options may not provide as much useful information or could be perceived as blaming the client.
