Question 1 of 5

A client was just told by the primary care primary health care provider that he will have an exercise stress test to evaluate his status after recent episodes of severe chest pain. As the nurse enters the examining room, the client states, 'Maybe I shouldn't bother going. I wonder if I should just take more medication instead.' Which therapeutic response should the nurse make to the client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Anxiety and fear are often present before stress testing. The nurse should explore a client's feelings if concerns are expressed. Option 1 is open-ended and is the only choice that is phrased to engender trust and the sharing of concerns by the client.
