An 82-Year-Old Patient Tells the Nurse That His Reports of Pain

An 82-year-old patient tells the nurse that his reports of pain in his legs were dismissed by a new physician in the practice as "just what happens to everyone." What is an appropriate response for the nurse to make?

A) "Are you really in that much pain? Perhaps you just need to be more active."
B) "I think the doctor is just trying to help you get used to the effects of old age."
C) "It might be useful for you to tell the physician how you feel. Do you feel comfortable doing that?"
D) "That doctor shouldn't treat you so poorly. You should complain to the office manager."
