A nurse is caring for a client who reports a state of increasing anxiety and the inability to sleep and concentrate. Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?

Everyone has trouble sleeping at times' minimizes the client's concerns and may not address the underlying issues contributing to their anxiety. 'Why do you think you are so anxious?' might come across as judgmental or confrontational, and it may not create a supportive environment for the client to open up about their feelings. 'Have you talked to your provider about this yet?' This response encourages the client to seek professional help and addresses the issue of increasing anxiety and difficulty sleeping. It is supportive and guides the client toward discussing their concerns with a healthcare provider who can assess the situation and provide appropriate interventions. 'It sounds like you're having a difficult time' acknowledges the client's distress but does not guide them toward seeking professional help. Encouraging a conversation with a healthcare provider is a more direct and helpful approach.
