A nurse in an urgent care center is caring for a young adult client who requires suturing of a laceration. The client tells the nurse, "My family should have been here by now. I can't go through this without them." Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. "I'm sure your family will be here soon.": While this response tries to reassure the client, it does not address the client’s current feelings or provide immediate support. It might also come across as dismissive since the nurse cannot be sure when the family will arrive. B. "I will be available for you until your family arrives.": This response acknowledges the client’s anxiety and offers support in the meantime. It shows the nurse’s availability and commitment to making the client feel safe and supported while waiting for their family. C. "Why do you think your family is delayed?": This question might make the client feel pressured or defensive and focuses on the delay rather than offering reassurance or emotional support. It does not directly address the client’s emotional needs. D. "You'll feel better once this procedure is over.": While this response aims to reassure the client, it might minimize their current feelings of anxiety. It focuses on the future rather than addressing the immediate emotional needs of the client.
