"It must be very frustrating when you don't have want you need to perform the procedure." C. "I will help you with this procedure instead of the staff nurse." D. "You should think about how you make others feel when you lose your temper."

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Rationale:

A. "If you let us know ahead of time that you plan to perform a procedure, we could do better job of having the supplies available." may be perceived as placing blame and does not address the immediate concern of the provider's anger.

B. "It must be very frustrating when you don't have what you need to perform the procedure." acknowledges the provider's frustration and validates their feelings, which can help de-escalate the situation and improve communication.

C. "I will help you with this procedure instead of the staff nurse." does not address the underlying issue and might not resolve the conflict or improve the situation.

D. "You should think about how you make others feel when you lose your temper." is confrontational and may escalate the situation further rather than resolving it.
