An adult who is alert declines a recommended medication and asks the nurse to keep the discussion private. A partner demands to know why the patient refused.
What two decisions need separate assessment?
Answer: Clarify the patient's informed treatment decision and their permission to disclose information. Assess decision-specific capacity when indicated and respect confidentiality within applicable law.
A patient says, “Whenever I take the tablets, I feel like someone else.” The nurse has been asked to teach medication adherence.
What is the most useful opening response, and why?
Answer: Invite the patient's meaning before giving information. For example, “What changes do you notice when you say you feel like someone else?” This can uncover subjective effects or concerns that affect use.
A patient displaced by a fire cannot decide where to sleep tonight and repeatedly returns to the loss of family photographs.
A neighbor offers a room, but the patient fears returning to the neighborhood. How should the crisis plan change?
Answer: Explore the specific safety concern, identify alternatives with the patient, and confirm a realistic immediate plan and follow-up.
A patient paces near a crowded doorway and raises their voice when three staff members approach at once. There is no immediate assault.

During an outpatient visit a partner answers for the patient, who has repeated injuries. The patient has not disclosed violence.
The patient discloses violence and says messages on their phone are monitored. What should change in the referral plan?
Answer: Assess immediate danger, identify a safe contact method with the patient, and avoid messages or materials that could increase risk. Follow applicable reporting requirements.
