Answer: C - The most appropriate response is, “You sound concerned about what the doctor may find.” This response by the nurse aid focuses on the client’s feelings and promotes therapeutic communication.

Choice B is inappropriate response because this gives a false reassurance to the client. Choice D dismisses the client’s feelings and focuses too much on the diagnosis.
