A client who is experiencing paralysis of the left arm curses at the practical nurse (PN) and throws a hairbrush against the wall using the right arm. How should the PN respond?

A. Acknowledging the client's anger and offering to listen validates their feelings and provides an opportunity for the client to express their emotions. This approach can help de-escalate the situation and address the underlying frustrations related to their condition. B. Playing soft music might be soothing but does not directly address the client's expressed anger or the immediate situation. It is not as effective as acknowledging and listening to the client's concerns. C. Initiating deep breathing exercises might be helpful but is less effective than directly acknowledging the client's anger and providing a space for them to talk about their feelings. D. Offering to return later may avoid the immediate conflict but does not address the client’s current emotional state or provide support. It is better to engage with the client in the moment to manage their anger and offer support.
