The client who has just had a mastectomy for breast cancer is crying as the nurse enters the room. When asked why she is crying, the client responds “I know I shouldn't cry because this surgery may well save my life, but I was so pleased with my figure before and I know that things will not be the same.” What is the nurse’s best response?
A.   “It is all right to cry. Mourning this loss is important in getting past this point.”
B.   “You're right. It is silly to carry on like this when a prosthesis is available.”
C.   “Would you like to talk to someone who also has had a mastectomy?”
D.   “How have you coped with difficult situations in the past?”
