A nurse is admitting a client who is about to undergo surgery for benign prostatic hypertrophy. The client states, “I don’t know what I will do if they find I have cancer.” Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

Why do you think you might have cancer when your diagnosis is a benign condition?

I’m looking at your chart here and I don’t see any reason for you to worry about that.

I’m hearing that you are concerned that it might turn out that you have cancer.

I think that’s something you need to discuss with your provider.
