The nurse gathering data from a client admitted to labor and delivery is overheard making the comment, "You are lying. You need to tell me the truth so we can do what is best for your baby." The nurse's communication is:
1. A perception check.
2. Nontherapeutic.
3. Necessary.
4. Therapeutic.

Rationale: During admission, the nurse should engage in active listening. This nurse is making an accusatory statement that is nontherapeutic, unnecessary, and will result in a defensive response from the client. This is not a perception check; a perception check provides the client with the opportunity to correct inaccurate perceptions.
