ANS: D
A simple I'm sorry and a touch of the hand are kind and caring interactions. The novice nurse should not be instructed to avoid saying anything because the woman will want her loss (and baby) recognized. The nurse should not just encourage the woman to think of her other children, as this is dismissive of her loss. Taking over care of the patient will not allow the novice nurse to grow as a professional.
