A patient has cystic fibrosis and the night nurse caring for him notices his difficult breathing
The nurse calls the father to report his condition and regrets that his father, who has been continually present, cannot be there at this particular time. The patient's sister has influenza and the father stayed at home to care for his daughter. The nurse frequently assesses the patient during the night and monitors his deteriorating condition carefully. In the morning, the nurse sees the patient's father and approaches him to talk about his current condition. The nurse's best response to the father at this time would be: A) "I am sorry that your son passed away during the night." B) "Please sit down. I want to update you about your son's condition." C) "Your son might die. Come with me now and see him before it's too late." D) "Your son had a difficult night. It is too bad you were not here with him."
