The nurse is documenting observations of client interactions during a group session. The nurse strives to document the behaviors of the client interactions with:
1. Objectivity.
2. Serendipity.
3. Sympathy.
4. Empathy.
1
Rationale: The nurse gathers data and objectively documents observations. Empathy is the ability to identify with the situation of another, and is not relative to documenting client behaviors. Sympathy is a feeling that occurs when one feels the experience as another, which can interfere with the ability to remain objective. Serendipity is not used when documenting behaviors of client interaction.
