What response by the nurse best promotes compliance with a client who believes medication is unnecessary due to faith?

The response that states, "Many people of faith believe that one way God works to heal is through medication," effectively promotes compliance because it acknowledges and respects the client's beliefs while gently bridging the gap between faith and medical intervention. This approach validates the client’s perspective and opens the door for a constructive dialogue about the role of medication in their treatment.

By referencing the experiences of others, the nurse normalizes the use of medication in the context of faith, which can help the client reconsider their stance on the necessity of medication. This strategy can help the client feel understood and less defensive, making them more open to discussing and possibly accepting medical treatment as a complement to their beliefs.

The other options may either dismiss the client’s beliefs or fail to engage meaningfully with the situation.
