A client says to the nurse, “I’m going to die, and I wish my family would stop hoping for a ‘cure’! I get so angry when they carry on like this! After all, I’m the one who’s dying.” Which therapeutic response should the nurse make to the client?

1. “Have you shared your feelings with your family?” 2. “I think we should talk more about your anger with your family.” 3. “You’re feeling angry that your family continues to hope for you to be ‘cured’?” 4. “Well, it sounds like you’re being pretty pessimistic. After all, years ago people died of pneumonia.”
