Self-disclosure involves sharing experiences that the nurse has had with a
care recipient who has had a similar experience, to assist the person in
recognizing that the nurse demonstrates understanding of his or her need.
Self-disclosure is an indicator of a healthy personality and a strategy for
developing rapport with an individual. Therapeutic interactions
characterized by reciprocity involve a mutual exchange between the nurse
and the care recipient. Traditionally, nurses have been wary of self-
disclosure because it may cross a boundary from a professional to a personal
relationship with care recipients. The nurse must recognize when self-
disclosure is inappropriate and when it is needed in a therapeutic
relationship. Literature documents that self-disclosure is an effective clinical
strategy when developing a helping relationship. People value nurses who
engage in interactions as real people and who are willing to share
information about themselves.

18.A woman is scheduled for ambulation in the early morning of the first day
after undergoing an abdominal hysterectomy. The nurse uses consensual
validation of the individual's understanding of the plan of care by stating:
A. "I will be back at 9 AM to take you on a walk."
B. "The doctor wants you to walk one time this morning."
C. "Tell me where you would like to walk this morning."
, D. "Walking soon after a surgical procedure prevents complications." -
ANSWER ✓ C. "Tell me where you would like to walk this morning."
Consensual validation is a confirmation that both the sender and receiver
understand the same information. The nurse should ask the woman to
explain her sense of the message and of how to ask the nurse for further
information. Consensual validation in communication is essential when
providing health-promotion interventions. Without validating that the
individual understands the information and its importance, and that she has a
behavioral plan to follow, health-promotion efforts invariably are likely to
fail. "Tell me where you would like to walk this morning" is the only
response that asks the care recipient for her input regarding her
understanding of the plan of care. The other options stated by the nurse
contain information given to the care recipient.

19.The nurse demonstrates empathy toward a crying mother whose baby was
stillborn by stating:
A. "I know exactly how you feel; that happened to me once."
B. "You are young and will be able to have another baby."
C. "It was God's will that your baby was taken to heaven with him."
D. "Loss of a baby is truly a sad occurrence." - ANSWER ✓ D. "Loss of
a baby is truly a sad occurrence."
Empathy involves the ability to understand another's feelings without losing
personal identity and perspective. It is the critical element creating the caring
climate through therapeutic use of self. Empathy decreases a person's
distress. When the nurse acknowledges the content of the person's
communication, she transmits empathy. It is important that the nurse
remains with clients, spending time listening and assisting them to discuss
problems, fears, and anxieties. Nurses do not empathize by switching the
focus of the interaction to themselves, like in response a, or by
sympathizing. The only statement that demonstrates empathy is d, which
states an observation reflective of the mother's crying. Response b does not
focus on the loss of this baby, which is important for the grieving process.
Response c does not take the mother's beliefs into consideration.
