Problem
In a scenario, Tim was brought into the UCC with a third-degree ankle sprain. Tim recently started working as an electrician 2 months ago for a new company and is under a 3 month probation period. Tim is mainly worried about being able to work with crutches while healing from their injury. As a nurse, your role was to inform the client that the physician ordered them not to bear weight on their ankle for 2 days and that they had to use crutches for 2 weeks. However, the situation took a turn when Tim expressed their concerns about their ability to handle time off work financially and the potential effects it could have on their job security. The nurse is to use therapeutic communication skills to come up with a solution for this client.
