Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a gonococcal infection and has been prescribed an IM injection of ceftriaxone. The client refuses the medication because they are afraid of needles. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct response is C: "I will discuss other treatment options with your provider." This is the best choice because it acknowledges the client's fear of needles and shows empathy. It also demonstrates a willingness to explore alternative treatment options that may be more acceptable to the client. By involving the provider in the discussion, the nurse ensures that the client's health needs are still being addressed effectively.
Choice A is incorrect because it may come off as dismissive and may not address the client's fear.
Choice B is incorrect because there may be other treatment options available, and it is important to explore them before stating there is no other option.
Choice D is incorrect because it does not address the client's fear of needles.
