Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the traumatized client causes a car accident that injured or killed others, it may be more challenging to provide unconditional support and withhold judgment of the client's contributory behavior. Remaining nonjudgmental of the client is important, but does not happen automatically. The nurse may need to deal with personal feelings by talking to a peer or counselor. If the nurse is overwhelmed by the violence or death in a situation, the client's feelings of being victimized to traumatized beyond repair are confirmed.
Conveying empathy and validating client's feelings and experiences in a calm, yet caring professional, manner are more helpful than sharing the client's horror.
