Extracted text: Scenario: "Effective Communication: Nurse and Client & Wife" Lois, a licensed practical nurse (LPN), is assigned to care for Mr. Leno. He will be returning to his hospital room after surgery for cancer that has spread to his abdomen. His wife comes into the room crying. Lois asks, "What is wrong?" Mrs. Leno continues to sob and is unable to answer. Lois gets two chairs, one for Mrs. Leno and one for herself, urging Mrs. Leno to sit down. Both seated, Lois puts her hand on Mrs. Leno's hand and says, "Come on now. The news can't be that bad, can it?" Mrs. Leno answers by telling Lois that the surgeon has said that the cancer was so bad that there is nothing more they can do. Lois responds, "I am so very sorry. That must be difficult news to hear." Mrs. Leno weeps a bit longer, and then says she doesn't know how she can live without him. Lois comments, “You should wait and see how the chemotherapy and radiation treatments go before you think about living without him. Things may turn out all right." Mrs. Leno grasps at that hope and says, "Oh, do you really think those treatments could help him? May be he really doesn't have cancer that bad?" Lois says, "It's been known to happen."
