A nurse is caring for a client who is hospitalized and says to the nurse,“My partner called and told me my boss hired someone to take my place.” Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct response by the nurse should be D: "You must feel very concerned and disappointed by that information." This response shows empathy and acknowledges the client's emotions, validating their feelings of concern and disappointment. By acknowledging the client's emotions, the nurse demonstrates active listening and understanding, which can help the client feel supported and heard.
Other choices are incorrect:
A: Instructing the client to call their boss may come off as dismissive of their emotions and not addressing the underlying feelings of concern and disappointment.
