A grieving widow tells a psychiatricmental health nurse, I feel so tired and alone. The nurse who incorporates an understanding of symbolic interactionism in practice would not suggest which of the following to the client?
 
  1. You had a terrible loss. Feeling tired and alone must be very difficult for you.
  2. I would like to hear more about how you are feeling now.
  3. Try to get plenty of rest. Most people who suffer losses like yours need more sleep than usual to cope effectively.
  4. You seem sad. Can I sit with you for a while?

Rationale: Giving advice and suggesting that the meaning of the widow's loss is typical invalidates the person's unique experience, a basic premise of symbolic interactionismthat people interpret the world in their own way. Other responses indicate an understanding that a client's actions and feelings are important and unique, and set the stage to help the person begin to exert control over feelings and life.
