A single male caregiver of a 14-year-old girl accompanies his daughter to her pre-high school physical. In the course of discussion about how his daughter is developing, he remarks, She's terrific most of the time.
Of course, when she gets her period, she's miserable and mean, but I tell her that's just what it's like to be a woman. Of the following statements, which would be the most appropriate response by the nurse?
A) PMS is a problem for a lot of women, but sometimes it's worse in the beginning. She might outgrow it.
B) There are nutritional and medical things she can do to lessen the symptoms. I'll give both of you information about some strategies and we'll track her for a few months.
C) That must be hard on you, especially because you are raising her by yourself.
D) That doesn't make being a woman sound very good. It would probably be easier for her if you could be more supportive.
