مريض قبل العملية بساعة يقول للممرضة: «وش لو ما صحيت من البنج؟». أي رد علاجي؟

An hour before surgery a client says, “What if I don’t wake up from the anaesthetic?” Which response is therapeutic?

1. “Why would you think that? There’s no need for that fear.”
2. “Don’t worry, you’re in good hands and the doctor is excellent.”
3. “All patients feel the same way before an operation.”
4. “You sound worried about the anaesthetic. Tell me more about your concerns.”

Answer: D) “You sound worried about the anaesthetic. Tell me more about your concerns.”. A therapeutic response reflects the feeling and invites the client to talk. False reassurance and generalising dismiss the fear, and “why” questions make the client defensive.
