If a client demonstrates transference towards the nurse,how should the nurse respond?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Help the client to clarify the meaning of the relationship based on the present situation. Transference involves redirecting emotions from past relationships onto the nurse. Exploring these feelings therapeutically helps the client gain insight rather than ignoring terminating or reassigning which avoid the issue.
