The client diagnosed with cancer tells the clinic nurse, “I am so afraid that I will die a horribly painful death.” Which statement is the nurse’s best response?

 1. “That is a concern. Let’s sit down and discuss your concerns. I am here to talk if you need to.” 2. “Pain does not occur for everyone, but if it does, your HCP can prescribe medications to control it.” 3. “This does happen sometimes and it is a valid concern. I hope this does not happen to you.” 4. “There are medications that can be prescribed to control the pain, but they can cause you to become addicted.”
