The nurse is validating what was observed before documenting in the progress note. Validation is used as a mechanism to ensure which of the following?
1. The client's affect is appropriate to the situation
2. The client's perception of the response is communicated
3. The client's request is clarified
4. The client's need for further intervention is understood
2
Rationale: When evaluating the client's response to an intervention, the nurse validates to ensure the client's perception of the response is communicated. Affect refers to a client's emotional tone, not as a method to validate. The client's need for further intervention will be determined when the response is evaluated, not during validation of the client's response. Clarification is used when a message is not clear.
