What explanation about the unit milieu would be most important for the nurse to give to a newly admitted patient?
a. "Your behavior will be carefully monitored during your hospital stay."
b. "Unit activities will help you cope with immediate needs and stressors."
c. "You will be given enough medication to bring your symptoms under control."
d. "I will be gathering information about you to plan your care and your discharge."
B
This choice best reflects the purpose of milieu management in psychotherapeutic management. Stating that behavior will be monitored creates suspicion. Discussing medication administration is a psychopharmacology issue and is not pertinent to unit milieu. Stating that assessment will take place is not directly related to milieu.
