Option A is the best choice as it introduces the nurse as the client's caretaker and establishes a professional and friendly tone. Option B is not appropriate as it could make the client feel uncomfortable or unsafe with student nurses. Option C is a good option but may be too general, while option D puts the responsibility on the client to ask for help rather than offering assistance.
