An adult who had a mastectomy yesterday says to the nurse, 'I guess I'm not a real woman anymore. How could my husband possibly love me now?' What is the best response for the nurse to make?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Reflecting the client's feelings validates her emotional distress, fostering therapeutic communication post-mastectomy. Other responses dismiss or redirect her concerns.
