Which intervention best addresses the principle that is the basis for communicating with a client experiencing postsurgical delirium?

A. While giving time to respond is helpful, it does not directly address the core principle of interpreting the underlying meaning or need in delirious communication. B. Nonverbal communication may help, but it is not the primary principle in managing communication during delirium. C. Reminding the client of the nature of delirium is not effective, as the person is often disoriented or confused and unable to process such information. D. Delirium often causes disorganized or unclear speech, but the client’s statements usually reflect unmet needs or discomfort. Assuming this helps caregivers respond therapeutically and effectively.
