A nurse is caring for a client with whom he has developed a therapeutic relationship and who will be discharged later in the day. The client thanks the nurse for his help during the hospitalization. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. "I will send you a note in a few weeks.": This response is inappropriate and could blur professional boundaries in the therapeutic nurse-client relationship. B. "I know you will do well living out in the community.": While supportive, this response assumes the client's future success without addressing their immediate feelings or concerns. C. "Aren't you excited about being discharged today?": This response is leading and may not reflect the client’s true feelings. D. "How do you feel about being discharged?": This open-ended question encourages the client to express their emotions and concerns about the transition, which is appropriate in the termination phase of the therapeutic relationship.
