Question

A client is diagnosed with cancer and is told that surgery followed by chemotherapy will be necessary. The client states to the nurse, "I have read a lot about complementary therapies. Do you think I should try any?" The nurse should respond by making which appropriate statement?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let's talk more about the different forms of complementary therapies.

Explanation:

Although the HCP should approve the use of a complementary therapy, it is important for the nurse to explore the complementary therapies first with the client.

Answer 2

Answer:

4. Let's talk more about the different forms of complementary therapies.

Explanation:

The nurse should try to tell the client the forms of therapies available even though the HCP would approve which ever one the client chooses as long as it is in the best interest of the client.

Therefore it is important for the nurse to explore the complementary therapies first with the client. This will eliminate option 2. Options 1 and 3 are inappropriate.
