Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse first determines the client's perception of the stressful event. How threatened is the client? Is the client realistic or distorting the meaning of the event? The nurse encourages the client to describe his feelings and accepts the client without judgment, thereby helping him to accept his feelings as well.
