Question

Give an example of Honest Communication between nurse and patient.?

Answer 1

An elderly person in a care facility has dementia. Every day at 5pm they sit in the lounge room, believing that they are waiting for their son to come and take them shopping, a memory from many years earlier, a symptom of their dementia. An honest nurse would tell the person that they are in a care facillity and that their son will not be coming to pick them up. The elderly person may get distressed, but that would be honesty. Going along with them, or changing the subject and moving them away from the situation would be dishonest, but may have a better affect on the person.
