A nurse has been working one-to-one therapy with a client but now tells the client it would be beneficial for the client to be part of a group. The nurse knows that the advantage of group therapy is:
1. A therapeutic experience for the benefit of many therapists.
2. The nurse can work with more people at one time.
3. Multiple associations with various therapists.
4. The presence of many people participating in a therapeutic experience.
4
Rationale: The advantages of group therapy stem from one major factor: the presence of many people, rather than a solitary therapist, who participate in the therapeutic experience. Group therapy is not for the benefit of the therapist. While the nurse can work with more people in a group setting and, over time, the client may work with various therapists, these are not the most advantageous aspects of group therapy.
