A nurse has begun group counseling sessions for several hospitalized clients in the psychiatric facility. Which of the following would be most effective for the nurse to do to promote group cohesiveness?
A) Use team-building exercises.
B) Encourage task completion by members.
C) Spend time with each member individually.
D) Be consistent with the group themes.
Ans: A
To encourage group cohesiveness, the nurse should use team-building exercises or encourage socialization with minimal supervision. Task completion helps to promote achievement of the group's work but does not necessarily foster group cohesiveness. Spending time with each member may be important to facilitate communication and develop a relationship, but this would not promote group cohesiveness. Each group develops its own group themes.
