Question

A nurse is caring for a client with dissociative disorder. The nurse tells the client, "Hello, I'm Robin, your nurse. It is 9 o'clock in the morning now. You are in room number 303. My name is Robin, I'm your nurse." What is the most appropriate reason for the nurse to repeat this statement?

Answer 1

Dissociative disorder may be defined as the medical condition in which the individual loses its perception and may have memory breakdown. Persistent stress is one of the main reason of dissociative disorder.

The individual suffering from dissociative disorder requires the proper medical attendant. The nursing while caring for the client reminded that she was the nurse because she wants the reorientation of the client. It might be possible that the client is unable to recognize the nurse.
