"You will be okay. Your surgeon will talk to you in the morning." "Don’t worry. The surgeon ordered a sleeping pill to help you sleep." "It must be difficult not to know what the surgeon will find. What can I do to help?" "Why can’t you sleep? You have the best surgeon in the hospital."

The complete question is:

When making rounds, the nurse finds a patient who is not able to sleep because of surgery in the morning. Which therapeutic response is most appropriate?

The answer to the question is:

"It must be difficult not to know what the surgeon will find. What can I do to help?"

Explanation:

The therapeutic response in nursing is basically an activity or response in which the nurse responds, interacts or behaves in a professional and objective way which will give patient relief or help to cope with their disease and this might help in patient's healing process.

The above option is the most appropriate therapeutic response of the given scenario. This is basically a therapeutic communication technique of offering self in which the nurse offers his/her presence and time. A nurse tries to explain his/her role and shows her ability to understand patient's feelings.

"Don’t worry. The surgeon ordered a sleeping pill to help you sleep." This is not an appropriate response because this gives a patient wrong reassurance. This type of comfort seem to obstruct the interaction.

"Why can’t you sleep? You have the best surgeon in the hospital." This response is also not appropriate for the given scenario because the patients sometimes misinterpret "why" queries. The patient might think that the nurse knows the exact cause and is only testing the patient.
