Which would be the most therapeutic nursing communication on the basis of the nurse's understanding of a depressed patient who says, "i need to stop taking my medication because it blurs my vision, and i'm making mistakes when i paint jewelry by hand? "?

As the nurse in this situation it would be necessary to communicate to the patient in a way that is both gentle yet productive. It would be important to ask the patient to recall the initial warnings and generalizations about the medication. This would include the fact that the medication would possibly include blurring of the patient's vision. Reminding the patient of this and suggesting that they use some sort of magnifier to perfect their vision would be both therapeutic and helpful.
