Answer:
a) "It looks like you're searching for something. Is that right?"
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to elicit an explanation with the patient, the nurse has to ask a question that is polite. To which a positive response will be given.
The statement "It looks like you're searching for something. Is that right?" will make the patient see the nurse wants to help him hence he will give a positive answer.
The other statements such as:
- "What are you looking for in the bed? There's nothing hidden there."
- "Are you having any delusions or hallucinations right now?"
- "What's wrong with your bed?"
Are rude and they will only make the patient get agitated and no explanation will be given.
