Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse should clarify the statement and assist the client in exploring her feelings about the test.
This is false reassurance and does not deal with the concerns expressed by the woman.
The woman may not by able to answer why questions. It may also make her defensive.
This is a closed statement and does not encourage the woman to express her feelings.

B
