The nurse should try to find out why the client is crying so that she may intervene appropriately and correctly.Postponing talking with the client does not assist the client nor does it enable the nurse to make an appropriate intervention.Telling the client she'll be back may cause the client to feel that her needs are less important.Calling the family may be helpful to the client once the nurse identifies why the client is crying.However,depending on the reason,the family may not be at all helpful.A "do not disturb" sign,without obtaining more information,may isolate the client.Upon further exploration,the nurse may discover that the client is already feeling alone and that she does not want or need privacy right now.
