The client hears the word "match." The client replies,A match. I like matches. They are the light of the world. God will light the world. Let your light shine. Which communication pattern does the nurse identify?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Loose association involves thoughts that are not logically connected. The client's response drifts from "match" to unrelated religious themes fitting this pattern. Clang association relies on sound word salad lacks coherence and ideas of reference involve personal misinterpretations of external events.
