A) "Use your call bell if you need anything."
B) "I don't know what else I could tell you, this about covers all of it."
C) "Well that is all I have for you. Let me know if you need anything."
D) "Do you have any questions or concerns that we have not discussed?"
D
Feedback:
Asking the client if he or she needs more information provides an opportunity for the client to express concerns and ask questions. Option A does not allow the client to ask questions and is not specific for questions or concerns. "I don't know what else I could tell you" inhibits the client from asking the nurse anything further as well as "Well that is all I have for you."
