A young client is admitted with dog bites and scratches obtained when throwing rocks at a neighbor's dog. To help this client, the nurse should:
1. Ask the client what he intended to accomplish by hurting the dog.
2. Ask the client where his parents were when he was hurting the dog.
3. Suggest to the client that it is not okay to harm animals when angry or not.
4. Tell the client that he might go to jail for hurting the dog.
3. Suggest to the client that it is not okay to harm animals when angry or not.
Rationale:
When communicating with the young client who was hurting a dog, the nurse should suggest that that it is not okay to harm animals. The nurse should not ask the client what the intention was by hurting the dog or ask where his parents were when he was hurting the dog. The nurse should not threaten the client with jail.
