Question 1 of 5
The physician has just informed a patient that they have breast cancer and will require a mastectomy. The nurse finds that the patient is crying. Which response by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When a patient is informed about a serious diagnosis like breast cancer and the need for a mastectomy, it is common for them to experience a range of emotions, including sadness, fear, and anxiety. Offering to be there for the patient if they want to talk acknowledges their emotional distress and provides comfort.
