A client with osteoarthritis purchased a copper bracelet to wear and tells the nurse that there is less pain now. Which response by the nurse is most appropriate?

1. Tell the client to remove the bracelet because it does not have any therapeutic value.

2. Warn the client not to spend any more money on quackery such as bracelets.

3. Instruct the client to remove the bracelet because the copper in it can interfere with salicylate metabolism.

4. Acknowledge that the client feels better, but encourage the client to continue with the prescribed therapy.
