While gathering health history data at an outpatient wellness clinic, a practical nurse (PN) speaks with a client seeking to manage weight and support heart health. The client explains, "My weekdays are packed, so I grab fast food on the go. On weekends, I finally have time to cook the cultural meals I grew up with." Which statement by the PN is the best response?
- Tell me more about the meals you prepare on weekends and we can look at ways to make the recipes healthier.Cevap
- BWhy do you rely on fast food during the week if you are serious about managing your weight?
- CIt would be best to stop cooking your cultural dishes since they are likely interfering with your weight goals.
- DI will conduct a comprehensive initial dietary assessment to formulate a new plan of care for you.
Cevap
The most appropriate response is to encourage the client to share more about their weekend meals and collaborate on ways to adapt the recipes to be healthier.
The correct response acknowledges the client's cultural preferences and uses therapeutic communication to explore healthier food preparation techniques. It effectively reinforces positive lifestyle modifications while remaining safely within the scope of practice for a practical nurse.
