During a support group session, a client says, "My husband hit me a lot, but when he threatened to start hitting our kids, I stabbed him. No jury will believe me because my husband can lie to anyone and be believed." If no one in the group responds, which statement is the therapeutic response by the nurse?

"Abuse is a horribly difficult thing to experience. Can anyone in the group relate to what she's feeling?

Explanation:

Therapeutic response can be described as the outcome or consequence of any kind of medical treatment, where the results or outcome are judged or considered to be good, desirable and beneficial.

In this aspect, the nurse will listen, respond or even act in a way the patient will feel comfortable.

Therefore, in this case, the nurse will respond favorably to the statement of the client, as mentioned in the answer, so that the client or patient will feel comfortable or provide comfort to the client. This means that ,the nurse is trying to portray or judge the statement as desirable and beneficial.

"social stratification refers to the way people are ranked and ordered in society. in western societies, stratification is primarily seen and understood as a result of socioeconomic status, which produces a hierarchy in which access to resources, and possession of them, increases from the lower to the upper strata"

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
