    A case manager is meeting with a client who asks about using alternative therapies to manage her rheumatoid arthritis. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. While encouraging personal beliefs is supportive, it does not ensure that the alternative therapy is safe or evidence-based. B. Directing the client to an online support group is not as reliable as reviewing information with a knowledgeable professional. C. This response acknowledges the client's interest and promotes safe, informed decision-making by reviewing available, credible information regarding alternative therapies. D. Relying solely on the provider to inform the client may limit the client's autonomy in exploring additional safe options.
