The nurse has completed a new client's orientation to the inpatient psychiatric unit and asks if the client has any questions
Which of the following questions indicates further teaching is needed regarding the client's rights in a therapeutic environment? 1. "Where do I go if I want to smoke?"
2. "What time does morning group start?"
3. "What time are meals served on the unit?"
4. "What happens if I refuse to attend a group activity?"
4
Rationale: While clients can choose to refuse group activities and other forms of treatment, a complete orientation of client rights should include benefits of the treatment program and consequences associated with lack of participation. Other logistical information such as meal times, smoking areas, and morning routines are important information for the client to know, but questions such as these do not indicate a misunderstanding of rights.
