Question 1 of 5

While receiving a preoperative enema, a client starts to cry and says, 'I'm sorry you have to do this messy thing for me.' Which is the nurse's best response?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The nurse's best response in this situation is to acknowledge the client's emotional state, as it shows empathy and encourages further expression of feelings.
Choice A, 'I don't mind it,' dismisses the client's emotions and does not address the underlying issue.
Choice C, 'This is part of my job,' focuses on the task rather than the client's emotional needs.
Choice D, 'Nurses get used to this,' minimizes the client's feelings and lacks empathy. By selecting choice B, 'You seem upset,' the nurse acknowledges the client's distress and opens the door for further communication and support.
