Question 4 of 5
A client with a history of ovarian cysts is seen by the primary health care provider (PHCP). The client has had 2 previous surgeries related to this condition. Her PHCP recommends an exploratory laparoscopic procedure for the current ovarian cyst, which has persisted for several months. The client states that the prior ovarian cysts were benign and questions the need for this procedure. Which response is best for the nurse to provide?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: This response validates the client's feelings and opens a dialogue for further discussion, allowing the client to express her concerns and receive appropriate information and support. The other options either cause unnecessary fear, dismiss the client's concerns, or fail to encourage open discussion.
