Answer #1

Option d) it might seems bad now, but things will get better.

A nurse always has to re assure the client. Although she receives a bad news, the nurse must console her and give him support morally.

Choosing option a won't work in this case.we should not emphasise clients emotion at that time, it will worsen her mental state.

2nd option is also entirely wrong . We can't say that her action was incorrect and compare ourselves. It is not a correct way of critical thinking behaviour.

3rd option also we can't choose as the initial talk with her. Later on we can suggest her to talk with the chaplain.

So 4th option is the correct way of reassuring a cancer patient when she receives a cancer diagnosis. Skillful nurse will approach the client in that way.
