A student asks the nurse, "Why do you go to music therapy every morning at 10?" The nurse ex-plains the nurse's role in music therapy as:
1. Noting client verbal and nonverbal expression of feelings
2. Teaching clients about various styles of music
3. Fostering and encouraging performance talent
4. Selecting and playing numbers that will reduce anxiety and stress
ANS: 1
A goal of music therapy is to promote expression and social connection. The nurse should ob-serve and document expression of feelings as they occur. The observations may be used later, as a basis for further consideration by the nurse and client. The other options do not reflect aspects of the nurse's role in music therapy.
