Question

A client expresses concern that because of supply and demand there is no vaccine available for the annual flu vaccine. what is the nurse's best reply?

Answer 1

In this case, the nurse's best reply should be: "It's unfortunate, but there was such a limited supply available." 
Nurse's reply should always give the client a perspective about the current situation. Lying to a patient about something like this only expose the hospital for potential lawsuits.
