It will be carried out with two students working together. This is a "role play exercise," in which one student is the student nurse, and the other will role play as a client. In this assignment, the nursing student will be demonstrating the therapeutic nurse-client relationship and analyzing the therapeutic and nontherapeutic techniques used. You will take turns in the roles. This is not about always having therapeutic responses. It is about learning from practice and review.

It is expected that you will think of other ways to respond or interact with the client that may be more therapeutic after the interaction is terminated. After the conversation is over, you will complete in IPR form. this is the scenario Mrs. Alvarez is a 34-year-old female who has lived in this country for the past 10 yrs. She is a stay at home mom with three small children.

Her husband works two jobs to support the family. Lately, she has been extremely anxious and fears that her children will become ill or injured.

After the conversation, you will document the interactions using the form provided and following the guidelines instructions for each column. this is how it should go The first column is for you, the nursing student's, comments/ questions, and responses. You may want to include the introduction process. It is understandable if the initial conversation is more superficial to establish rapport. You may not want to include all of this but move on to the more focused interaction. Your nonverbal communication is included here. Then, the conversation will move to a focus on the client's feelings, concerns, issues as he/she has identified them.

After the introduction, it may be beneficial to establish with the client a short- term goal for the interaction. The second column is for the client's comments, questions, responses. Also, the nonverbal reactions of the client are included in this column. The middle column is for you to write what you are thinking or feeling. The last two columns are for you to document the technique that you used in that portion of the conversation. If it is a non - therapeutic response, you are to write the response and think of how you could revise to more therapeutic response.

You can change any response if you think of how you could have responded differently but, identify and change all non - therapeutic responses.
