The mental health nurse is leading a group about relaxation and explains the benefits of deep breathing for relaxation. As a female client begins to explain how she uses yoga to relax, another client interrupts and asks, "What's yoga?" Which is the nurse's best response?

A. Offer the client to move to a quiet room first: Changing the environment may reduce distractions, but it does not directly support the client’s immediate attempt to communicate. The priority is to respond to the client’s active effort to speak in the moment.

B. Allow the client time to complete her sentence: Allowing extra time promotes autonomy, reduces frustration, and respects the communication process for clients with aphasia. It gives the client space to formulate thoughts without pressure or interruption, which supports language recovery and expression.

C. Pull up a chair and sit quietly with the client: Sitting quietly can offer emotional support, but it may be perceived as passive when the client is actively trying to communicate. The nurse should take a facilitative role by giving the client time to speak, rather than only offering silent presence.

D. Provide a list of phrases to express herself properly: Providing phrases may overwhelm or confuse the client, especially during spontaneous attempts to speak. Aphasia affects word retrieval, and prompting with choices may interrupt the client's cognitive effort.

A. Explain expected side effects of postoperative chemotherapy: Chemotherapy and its side effects are typically discussed after surgery when the treatment plan is clearer. The focus before surgery should be on preparing the child and family for the surgery itself.

B. Monitor blood pressure every 2 hours for hypertension: Wilm's tumor can be associated with hypertension due to renin production from the tumor, so monitoring the child's blood pressure closely is essential to detect any signs of hypertension early.

C. Provide parents with simple explanations and repeat often: Simplified, repeated explanations are key to helping parents understand the diagnosis and surgical procedure. This approach supports emotional comfort and ensures informed decision-making.

D. Attend all healthcare provider and parent conferences: While it is important to support the family, the nurse’s role in attending all healthcare provider and parent conferences is not mandatory unless specifically needed for continuity of care.

E. Measure the child's abdominal girth: Measuring abdominal girth is essential preoperatively to monitor for any abdominal changes, such as swelling or distension, which could indicate tumor growth or other complications related to the Wilm's tumor.
