Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent who has metastatic osteosarcoma. While the parents are away, the adolescent asks the nurse if she is going to die. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct response is A: "Tell me more about what you are thinking." This response shows empathy and encourages open communication. By asking the adolescent to share their thoughts and feelings, the nurse can provide appropriate support and address any fears or concerns. It also allows the nurse to assess the adolescent's understanding and provide information in a developmentally appropriate manner.
Choice B is incorrect because the doctor may not be the best person to discuss emotional concerns with.
Choice C is dismissive and does not address the adolescent's emotional needs.
Choice D puts the responsibility back on the parents and misses the opportunity for the nurse to provide support.
