Question 1 of 5
A patient has been admitted for surgery for a colostomy. The patient states, 'I can’t believe this has happened to me.' What is the nurse’s best response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it acknowledges the patient's feelings, provides reassurance about leading a normal lifestyle post-surgery, and opens up the opportunity for the patient to express their concerns. Option B focuses on the husband's reaction, which is not the patient's primary concern. Option C dismisses the patient's emotions and may come off as invalidating. Option D, while acknowledging the patient's disbelief, does not directly address the patient's concerns about the surgery.
