A client is discussing feelings related to a recent loss with the nurse. The nurse remains silent when the client says, 'I don't know how I will go on.' What is the reason for the nurse's behavior?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Silence provides space for the client to process emotions and thoughts, facilitating deeper exploration. It is not about disapproval, reflecting sadness, or solely respecting loss.
