Shoshana Rokem,a Middle-Aged Mother of 9 Children from the Orthodox

Shoshana Rokem,a middle-aged mother of 9 children from the orthodox community,is seen in the GYN clinic for heavy vaginal bleeding.She is anxious and shy and timidly asks the nurse if she may be seen only by a female doctor.An appropriate nursing action by the female nurse would be:

A) demonstrate strategies for Shoshana to verbalize,reduce and control her anxiety.
B) maintain Shoshana's privacy and convey empathy and positive regard for her culture.
C) inform Shoshana that all of the doctors are male,but they treat many of the women from her community.
D) suggest that Shoshana reschedule her appointment for a day when a female physician has clinic hours.
