A nurse is caring for a client who tells the nurse that he feels he is being discharged from the facility too soon. Which of the following statements by the nurse demonstrates client advocacy?

Rationale: A. "Your provider understands your illness and is acting according to your best interests.": This statement does not address the client’s concerns and may minimize their feelings. It shifts focus away from the client’s perspective rather than supporting their right to express concerns about discharge timing. B. "I know you will be able to recover faster at home.": This statement assumes the provider’s decision is correct and discourages the client from expressing concerns. It does not advocate for the client or ensure their voice is heard in care planning. C. "I will tell the provider about your concerns.": Communicating the client’s concerns to the provider demonstrates client advocacy. The nurse acts on behalf of the client to ensure their preferences, questions, and safety needs are considered in the discharge decision. D. "I will contact your insurance company to see if they will pay for you to be here longer.": While insurance involvement may be relevant, the primary role of the nurse as an advocate is to convey the client’s concerns to the healthcare team rather than directly managing insurance coverage issues.
