A nursing instructor is teaching about psychodrama, a specialized type of therapeutic group. Which student statement indicates that further teaching is necessary?

B. "In psychodrama, the client is the protagonist."
C. "In psychodrama, the client observes actor interactions from the audience."
D. "Psychodrama facilitates resolution of interpersonal conflicts."
ANS: C
The nurse should educate the student that in psychodrama the client plays the role of himself or herself in a life-situation scenario and is called the protagonist. During psychodrama, the client does not observe interactions from the audience. Other group members perform the role of the audience and discuss the situation they have observed, offer feedback, and express their feelings. Leaders of psychodrama must have specialized training to become a psychodramatist.
