A Client Undergoes Below the Knee Amputation Following a Vehicular

A client undergoes below the knee amputation following a vehicular accident. Three days postoperatively, the client is refusing to eat, talk, or perform any rehabilitative activities. The best initial nursing approach would be to:

A) Give him an explanation of why there is a need to quickly increase his activity
B) Emphasize repeatedly that with his prosthesis, he will be able to return to his normal lifestyle.
C) Appear cheerful and non-critical, regardless of his response to attempts at intervention.
D) Accept and acknowledge that his withdrawal is an initially normal and necessary part of grieving.
