“I’ve never told anyone this information about my son,” is an example of a parent:

1. Identifying problems
2. Building trust
3. Clarifying roles
4. Revealing

ANSWER

ANS: 2
This response is an example of trust. Trusting another person involves risk and vulnerability, but it also fosters open, therapeutic communication and enhances the expression of feelings, thoughts, and needs. This statement is not an example of revealing. Although the parent may have provid-ed information that was never before revealed, in this statement the parent is indicating there is trust between himself or herself and the nurse practitioner. This statement is not clarifying roles of the nurse and client. This statement is not an example of identifying problems and goals.
