Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To assess impulsivity, the nurse would ask the client whether he or she ever felt sorry for acting on the spur of the moment. Asking about things bothering the client provides information about the client's mood. Asking about how the client views other people provides information about the client's cognition and possible dichotomous thinking. Asking about feeling separated from the body provides information about dissociation.
