A nurse is admitting a patient with a diagnosis of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) who is to receive IV fluids to restore hydration. The nurse is asking closed-ended questions, she is not making eye contact with the patient, and she is standing at least 8 feet from the patient. What type of communication is this? How effective is the communication? 2. A nurse is interviewing a female client who has recently immigrated to the United States. The nurse makes frequent eye contact, leans forward in her seat, and asks direct personal questions. The client seems uncomfortable, gives one-word, noncommittal answers, and even seems shocked at certain questions. What should the nurse do in this situation? 3. A nurse introduces herself to a new client and explains her role in the client’s care. During subsequent interactions, the client asks for assistance in ways that the nurse thinks are beyond the scope of her role or the therapeutic situation. At times, the client seems to misunderstand the nurse’s communication. Also, she repeatedly asks the nurse to provide her with detailed suggestions on how to solve her issues.
