A nurse is interviewing a client who states, "I am at a total loss and don't know what to do anymore. I feel hopeless." Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. "If you do not like your medications, would you like to try an alternative?" This response shifts focus away from the client's emotional state and does not validate their feelings. B. "You feel like you have no remaining options and are struggling to find a solution." This response uses therapeutic communication by reflecting the client’s emotions, validating their feelings, and encouraging further discussion. C. "Would you like to speak to a therapist after treatment?" While therapy may be beneficial, this response does not acknowledge the client's feelings in the present moment. D. "You would like more information. I will get that for you right away." This response assumes the client is seeking information rather than expressing distress.
