The nurse's response should provide the client with accurate information that addresses their concerns. Option B is the most appropriate response as it provides the client with the information regarding the effectiveness and safety of the procedure compared to drug therapy. Option A is incorrect as it suggests that the client's case may be different from others, which does not address their concern. Option C is incorrect as it is not true that most of the medications used for atrial fibrillation have been taken off the market. Option D is incorrect as it misleads the client about the potential for treating atrial fibrillation with medications alone.
