A client diagnosed with acromegaly is scheduled for a growth hormone test. When the client arrives ...

A client diagnosed with acromegaly is scheduled for a growth hormone test. When the client arrives for the test, the nurse notes that the client appears to have been crying. The nurse shares with the client this observation and the client begins to cry again and tells the nurse about some serious family problems. Which should the nurse do at this time in relation to the client's growth hormone test?

▸ After the client's growth hormone test has been completed, discuss with the client possible resources available to assist with the family problems that the client is experiencing.

▸ Explain to the client that the growth hormone test will not be accurate if performed when the client is emotionally upset, so the test needs to be rescheduled.

▸ Wait until the client calms down to have the test performed.

▸ Report to the healthcare provider that the client's emotional state must be taken into account when interpreting the growth hormone test.
