Answer:

what best describes the conversation between nurse and patient is that  patient is using ineffective communication by being sarcastic and overly emotional.

Explanation:

Communication between health personnel and the patient must be clear and in the context of mutual trust to ensure the improvement of an illness.

  • A nurse should inform the patient in detail about the state of health and the treatment and care that should be followed for his or her improvement.
  • Patient must be attentive to each indication and assume the commitment to comply with the treatment, in addition to performing self-care to maintain their health.

In this case, the patient is overreacting to a very common and not very dangerous infection, besides demonstrating through sarcasm how little confidence he has in the treatment.  This type of behavior is a barrier to nurse-patient communication, which must be overcome to achieve a cure or improvement of an illness.

Regarding the other options:

  • The nurse is using effective communication, far from producing confusion in the patient.
  • Both the nurse and the patient are not just using verbal communication.
