The client preparing to go home after a radical neck dissection for cancer is crying. When the nurse asks why he is crying, the client writes, "I know I shouldn't cry because this surgery may well save my life, but I can’t believe how changed my appearance is." 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 the surgery may cure you.”
C.   “Would you like to talk to someone who also has had a laryngectomy?”
D.   “How have you coped with difficult situations in the past?”
