A nurse says to their nurse manager that, "I'm the only one on my team who is working hard." Which of the following responses should the nurse manager make?

A. "You must feel frustrated." This response is therapeutic and validates the nurse’s feelings, encouraging the nurse to open up about their frustration without feeling judged or defensive.B. "Why do you feel upset about this?": Asking “why” may make the nurse defensive and feel as though they need to justify their feelings.C. "You should be working harder.": This is unsupportive and could worsen the nurse’s frustration, possibly making them feel criticized or undervalued.D. "I will reprimand your team members.": This response is reactive and could disrupt team dynamics without addressing the underlying issue. It does not support open communication.
