We had a test review today and I can't say I still agree with the answer.
The vignette was a 30 yr old woman in for gastric bypass surgery who seems concerned and is asking alot of questions about what will happen before and after - which is the best therapeutic approach to get her to talk?
The only 2 viable answers were:
" Tell me your fears about the surgery"
or
" You seem concerned. Can you tell me about what is worrying you?"
I chose the 2nd one but my prof says it's the 1rst one ( she said key word surgery)....but alas I disagree.
Anyone? I'd just like a rationale....my instructor wouldn't go into depth on this one.
