When caring for a depressed client, the nurse made a comment that all depressed people are weak. This is categorized as which type of attitude displayed by the nurse?
A) Affective incongruence
B) Judgmental
C) Jealous
D) Open-minded
Ans: B
Persons who display judgmental attitudes are often inflexible and run the risk of neglecting the perception of others, possibly arriving at an opinion based on their values without enough facts or enough regard for what other people may feel or think. Affective incongruence occurs when the client's mood is not congruent with the situation. The nurse in this instance is not being open-minded or conveying jealousy.
