Case Scenario:
The nurse at a mental hospital health clinic is meeting
a new client for the first time and plans to do a psychosocial
assessment. When the client arrives, the nurse finds a young woman
who looks somewhat apprehensive and is crying and twisting facial
tissues in her hands. The client can tell the nurse her name and
age but begins crying before she can provide any other information.
The nurse knows it is essential to obtain information from this
young woman, but it is clear she will have trouble answering all
interview questions at this time.
How should the nurse approach the client crying? What
should the nurse say and do?
2. Identify five questions that the nurse would choose
to ask this client initially? Give a rationale for the chosen
questions.
