which of the following is not a statement used in therapeutic communication when using language to s
“we will have to look into this”
“we can do this”
“let’s work on it together”
“i’m not sure what you mean by ‘sick’; is it pain or nausea or something else”

Explanation:

Therapeutic communication aims to build trust, show empathy, and facilitate understanding. "We can do this" is encouraging, "Let's work on it together" is collaborative, and "I'm not sure what you mean by 'sick'; is it pain or nausea or something else" is clarifying. "We will have to look into this" can be therapeutic if used to assure the patient that their concern is being taken seriously, but it can also seem less immediate in providing a solution compared to the others.

Answer:

There is no option selected in the image. Assuming we need to analyze the options: None of the above are inherently non - therapeutic. However, if we had to pick one that might be less directly therapeutic in some contexts, "We will have to look into this" could be seen as more of a delaying or non - committal response compared to the others which are more collaborative or clarifying. But this is a very nuanced question. If we must choose one as "not a statement used in therapeutic communication" based on the options given, there is no clear - cut answer as all can be used therapeutically in appropriate situations.
