Reference no: EM133692464

Question

The nurse is seeing a client who has just been diagnosed with a meningioma. The client states he is confused because the provider stated, "If you have to be diagnosed with a brain tumor, this is the least harmful." The client asks the nurse for clarification. How should the nurse respond? "It would have been important for you to clarify your provider's statement during your appointment. It is not within my scope to discuss the details of your diagnosis." "It is likely that your provider was trying to be as supportive as possible with those positive words. You need a lot of support during this challenging time." "I am assuming your provider was trying to explain to you that meningiomas have a high cure rate if treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation aggressively." "I am unable to interpret what your provider meant by making that statement; however, it is true that meningiomas are slow growing tumors that are not typically fatal."
