Option A reflects an observation that the nurse has made about the client's body posture, rather than making an assumption or giving unsolicited advice. This statement also opens up the opportunity for the client to express any discomfort or concerns they may have. Option B is directive and may even be perceived as dismissive by the client. Option C assumes that the client has had a negative experience, which may not be the case. Option D is potentially dismissive of the client's concerns and may also be seen as dishonest if the client does experience pain.
