By asking about a patient’s thoughts and feelings, the nurse will be able to use communication skills in a therapeutic manner. This will facilitate the patient’s insight into behaviors and will enable the nurse to make referrals or provide needed health teaching. The length of time married and the reason for the parents’ divorce do not explain the patient’s behaviors. Why the patient is acting out of control is not as important as how the patient views actions when out of control.
