Joe responds to the nurse by curling up on the bench even tighter. His arms still cover his head, and his hands are clasped tightly over his ears. The nurse should: A. show acceptance of Joe’s behavior by remaining with him and reassuring him, gently stroking his arms and shoulders. B. tell Joe that she will leave him for a while and will return later when he feels more relaxed. C. say gently, “Joe, I’ll just sit here quietly with you for a while,” then remain seated nearby. D. say, “Joe, most people feel uncomfortable in hospitals. You shouldn’t be afraid. I’m here to help you.
