The parents of a newly admitted patient on the pediatric unit are angry and upset about their child's diagnosis with a serious chronic illness.
 
  One parent is weeping, asking, Are they sure? The other is pounding his fist into his hand, saying over and over, It's not fair. What would be an appropriate response for the nurse to make in this situation?
  A) Stay in the room but say nothing
  B) Leave them alone for a while until they calm down
  C) Tell them that most children do fine for years with the illness and explain that they will adjust to the child's special needs
  D) Acknowledge their sadness and their anger and let them know that the staff is available for their support
