Peggy is a nurse who has just transferred from a general psychiatric unit to work on a forensic psychiatric unit
Peggy finds it easier to communicate with these clients because, for the most part, their inappropriate behaviors and cognitive disorders have responded positively to treatment. Many of the clients have been on the unit for 3 or more years, and Peggy has been unable to note any indicators of psychiatric problems in several of the clients. The nurse has grown exceptionally close to Gene, who has gone out of his way to make Peggy feel welcome and appreciated. One afternoon in December, Gene asks Peggy for her address so he can send her a Christmas card. Which of the following responses should Peggy make to Gene's request? A) "Sure, let me write it down for you; it would be great to hear from you." B) "I read in your record that you molested a 4-year-old girl. I have a 2-year-old child at home. I would have to be out my mind to give you my address." C) "We need to get to know each other better before I would feel right about giving you my address." D) "It would not be appropriate for me to give you my address because our relationship is professional rather than social."
