A client refuses to take an oral dose of Dulcolax (Bisacodyl tablets).

What is the nurse's BEST response?

AReport to the physician

BCrush the medication and mix it with apple sauce
C Inform the patient that this medication must be taken twice a day

DHave the client suck on ice chips for several minutes before taking the medication

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Establishing a respectful therapeutic relationship involves actively including the client's ideas, preferences, and opinions in their care planning. This action demonstrates respect for the client's autonomy and individuality, fostering trust and cooperation. Discussing non-health-related topics may help build rapport but does not directly contribute to a therapeutic relationship. Being congruent and understanding the client's thoughts and feelings are important but are part of the overall communication process rather than a specific action to establish respect in the relationship.

Option B - crushing and mixing with applesauce? Sounds like a recipe for a delicious laxative smoothie!

Option A all the way! Reporting to the physician is the safest and most responsible choice when a client refuses to take medication.

Haha, option C is a classic case of 'the more you know, the more you realize you don't know.' Informing the patient of the twice-a-day dosing isn't the best response here.
