Ans: A, C, D, E
Nursing management should include listening to the client's report of symptoms and fears, validating it by acknowledging that the fears may be real, asking the client to monitor symptoms in a journal, and encouraging the client to bring the journal to the next visit. By actually seeing the symptom pattern, it is possible to continue to educate the client and assess for significant symptoms.
