A woman comes to the clinic for her first prenatal visit. The nurse is conducting a health history and the woman begins to cry when asked about previous pregnancies. Which response is best for the nurse to provide?

"Why don't I come back in a few minutes after you are more composed."

Allow the client to compose herself then change the subject.

Offer a tissue and sit quietly until the crying subsides.

"I'm so sorry that I made you cry. I didn't mean to upset you."
