Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Telling the client that everything will be okay is false reassurance and blocks communication. Rather, the nurse should focus on what the information means to the client. Supporting the client's cultural beliefs about expressing his or her feelings, encouraging the client to focus on one thing at a time, and explaining information clearly are appropriate.
