A nurse is caring for a client who tells the nurse that they feel like they are being discharged home too soon. Which of the following statements by the nurse demonstrates client advocacy?

A. This dismisses the client’s feelings and provides false reassurance instead of addressing the concern. B. Asking “why” can sound confrontational and may discourage open communication. C. This assumes the provider’s decision is best without considering the client’s perception, violating the nurse’s role as advocate. D. Informing the provider of the client’s concerns demonstrates advocacy—the nurse supports the client’s right to participate in their care and ensures their voice is heard in discharge planning.
