During Admission to the Unit, a Patient States, "I'm Not

During admission to the unit, a patient states, "I'm not worried about the results of my tests. I'm sure I'll be all right." As the nurse observes the patient, the nurse notes that the patient is shaky, tearful, and does not make eye contact. Unfortunately, the nurse is called away to an emergency before completing this discussion. Which goal is most appropriate for the nurse to establish when returning to the patient? The patient will:

A) Explain the reason for the incongruent statements
B) Engage in diversional activities to cope with stress
C) Express concerns to the primary care provider
D) Discuss concerns and fears with the nurse
