The psychiatric nurse best demonstrates an understanding of the general health challenges facing a mentally ill client who reports auditory hallucinations when asking:
- A. When did you first start hearing voices?'
- B. What did you have to eat last night for supper?'
- C. May I have your permission to take your blood pressure?'
- D. Do you understand why you need to take your medication?'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because asking for permission to take the client's blood pressure demonstrates respect for their autonomy and acknowledges their physical health needs. It shows an understanding that mental illness can impact physical health and encourages holistic care. Choice A focuses on the onset of hallucinations, but does not address immediate health concerns. Choice B is unrelated to the client's health challenges. Choice D addresses medication compliance but does not directly address the client's current health status. Overall, choice C is the best option as it considers both the client's mental and physical well-being.
