Scenario: A nurse is caring for an adolescent who has a new diagnosis of terminal
cancer. While discussing the prognosis with the parents, the nurse notes specific
coping statements.
Which parental statement best demonstrates the defense mechanism of
“rationalization”?
A. “Our child wouldn’t have this terminal diagnosis if the doctor had
diagnosed the cancer sooner.”
B. “Let’s go on that family vacation we’ve planned. We’ll deal with this when we
return.”
C. “Maybe this is better for our child because we don’t want any suffering through
chemotherapy treatments.”
D. “I’m sure the lab results must be wrong; there’s no way it’s really cancer.”
Correct Answer: C. “Maybe this is better for our child because we don’t want any
suffering through chemotherapy treatments.”
Explanation (Expert Rationale):
• Rationalization involves justifying an unacceptable situation by creating a more
personally tolerable viewpoint or excuse for the outcome.
Incorrect Answer Rationales:
• A: Blaming the provider’s failure to diagnose earlier is displacement
(redirecting blame or anger to a safer target).
• B: Suggesting a family vacation and dealing with it later is suppression
(consciously putting aside the problem).
