The nurse and client, a 20-year-old expectant mother, are discussing the advantages and disad-vantages of breastfeeding

a. Verification
b. Clarification
c. Amplification
d. Affirmation
ANS: B
Clarification is a process in which the nurse and client strive to understand meanings in a com-mon way. Verification is the process used by the nurse advocate to establish accuracy and reality in the informing process. Affirmation is based on an advocate's belief that a client's decision is consistent with the client's values and goals. Amplifying occurs between the nurse and the client to assess the needs and demands that will eventually frame the client's decision.
