ANS: C
Take time to understand a patient's meaning of the precipitating event and the ways in which stress is affecting his life. For example, in the case of a woman who has just been told that a breast mass was identified on a routine mammogram, it is important to know what the patient wants (priority needs) and needs most from the nurse. Providing information, allowing time with friends, and finding support may be implemented after finding out what the patient wants or needs.
