  • A. Stress to the client that her husband would want her to do what is best for her health.

Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
(A) This answer does not hold the client accountable for her own health. (B) The nurse should explore potential reasons for the clients anxiety: are there small children at home, is the husband out of town? The nurse should aid the client in seeking support or interventions to decrease the anxiety of hospitalization. (C)
Repeating the physicians reason for recommending hospitalization may not aid the client in dealing with her reasons for anxiety. (D) The concern for self and welfare of baby may be secondary to a woman who is in a crisis situation. The nurse should explore the clients potential reasons for anxiety. For example, is there another child in the home who is ill, or is there a husband who is overseas and not able to return on short notice?
