Question

A client, 50 years old, is admitted for treatment of a gastric tumor. the client asks the nurse, "do you think i have cancer?" which response by the nurse would be most therapeutic?

Answer 1

I'm sure the answer you are looking for is specific to your class, but I would say that the nurse should provide something like, "The tumor is most likely benign, but until we test further, we can't know if it's malignancy."
