True or False

Answer 1

Advisement is one of the most studied therapeutic response modes.

The above statement is false.

Advising is a nontherapeutic communication.

Therapeutic communication is a combination of verbal and nonverbal communication techniques that helps improve a patient's physical and mental wellbeing.

On the hand nontherapeutic communication involves various words, phrases, actions, and tones that make a patient feel uncomfortable, increase their stress, and worsen their overall mental, and perhaps even physical, wellbeing.

In advising the nurse tells the client or patient what to do and decideds what is good for the client or patient. It implies the client can't handle life decisions and only the nurse knows what is best for the where they like it or not.

Thus advising is nontherapeutic communication.
