A nurse is caring for a client who reports difficulty coping with several recent stressors. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. "Why are you having difficulty coping?": This question may sound accusatory and could make the client feel defensive. It is more effective to explore their feelings and concerns in a non-judgmental way. B. "You should find a therapist who can help you.": While therapy can be helpful, this statement is directive and does not invite the client to express their feelings. It also may come across as dismissive of the client's current struggles. C. "Everything will be okay if you give it some time.": This statement minimizes the client's feelings and may invalidate their experience. It's important to acknowledge their emotions and work with them to explore coping strategies rather than offering empty reassurances. D. "Tell me about your support system.": This is the most appropriate response, it encourages the client to reflect on the resources and people they can rely on and provides an opportunity for the nurse to assess the client's support network and coping mechanisms.
