A nurse is caring for a client who is expressing anger about his diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Reassure the client that this is an expected response to grief. By reassuring the client that feeling anger about the diagnosis of colorectal cancer is a normal part of the grieving process, the nurse acknowledges the client's emotions and validates their experience. This can help the client feel understood and supported, fostering a therapeutic relationship. Discussing risk factors (
