A nurse therapist has suggested that a client join an ongoing therapy group that the nurse conducts.
 
  The client reluctantly agrees and over the next several weeks the group and therapist focus predominantly on this new member's issues. Over this period of time, the nurse notes that the group is becoming less functional. Why is this most likely the case?
  A) The nurse should not try to force group therapy on the client.
  B) The group should not be expected to help the client with social skills.
  C) The group is closed to new members.
  D) The nurse is not skilled in group techniques.

Feedback:
Therapy groups consist of clients and staff members to discuss and to address issues such as social skills training, specific illnesses and related medications, conversational skills, and anger management. The main focus is working in the present with the issues that each client brings. The active leader structures, supports, and encourages participation from others. The skilled nurse would not focus exclusively on a single client's issues.
