A nurse educator is teaching a group of new staff members recently hired on a behavioral health unit. Which examples of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) does the educator include as expected when providing care to clients on the unit?
Select all that apply.
A) Cognitive restructuring
B) Relaxation techniques
C) Systematic desensitization
D) Reciprocal inhibition
E) Benzodiazepine administration
Answer: A, C, D
Cognitive restructuring, systematic desensitization, and reciprocal inhibition are all forms of CBT. Relaxation techniques are a nursing intervention and not a form of CBT. Benzodiazepine administration for a short time may be beneficial but is not a form of CBT; it is a pharmacological therapy that may be beneficial if used with CBT.
