The clinic nurse is caring for an adult oncology client who reports extreme fatigue and weakness after the first week of radiation therapy. Which response by the nurse would best reassure this client?

"These symptoms usually result from radiation therapy; however, we will continue to monitor your laboratory studies and test results."

"Even though it is uncomfortable, this is a good sign. It means that only the cancer cells are dying."

"Try not to be concerned about these symptoms. Every client feels this way after having radiation therapy."

"These symptoms are part of your disease and are an unfortunately inevitable part of living with cancer."
