You are providing teaching to Mason, a newly admitted patient on the psychiatric unit, regarding his daily schedule. Which of the following would not be an appropriate teaching statement? A. You will participate in unit activities and groups daily. B. You will be given a schedule daily of the groups we would like you to attend. C. You will attend a psychotherapy group that I lead. D. You will see your provider daily in a one-to-one session.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate teaching statement depends on the scope of your role as a registered nurse on a psychiatric unit and the practices and policies of the specific healthcare facility. The statement that may not be appropriate is:

C. You will attend a psychotherapy group that I lead.

In many healthcare settings, registered nurses typically do not lead psychotherapy groups. Psychotherapy is usually conducted by licensed mental health professionals such as psychologists, social workers, or psychiatrists. It's important to provide accurate and clear information to the patient. If a registered nurse were to lead a psychotherapy group, it would be essential to clarify the scope of that role and the credentials required.

The other statements (A, B, and D) are generally appropriate teaching statements that provide information about the patient's daily schedule and the unit's activities and groups. However, it's important to verify and align your teaching statements with the specific policies and roles at your healthcare facility.
