Two days after the discharge, the patient comes back to the hospital reporting pus in the sternal incision site. The nurse tells the patient that this indicates infection and some tests should be performed. The patient shouts at the nurse and the surgeon and blames them for the complication. What should be the appropriate nursing action?
The nurse should explain that they are not responsible for this condition.The nurse should remain silent and let the patient express his or her anger.The nurse should ignore the patient and attend to other patients.The nurse should tell the patient that the surgery had been unsuccessful. - ANSWER The nurse should remain silent and let the patient express his or her anger.Anger is one of the early stages in the psychosocial adaptation to grief. The patient is not ready to accept the problem and needs the opportunity to express feelings and anger. Telling the patient that he or she is not responsible for this condition should not be the immediate response. The patient should be allowed to express all of his or her feelings first. The nurse should serve every patient with respect and dignity; ignoring the patient is an inappropriate behavior. Pus from the sternal site does not indicate that the surgery has been unsuccessful; it is a complication of the surgery and can be caused by multiple factors. 3 / 4
