A 40-year-old client is admitted for a surgical biopsy of a suspicious lump in her left breast. when the nurse arrives to take the client to surgery, she is tearfully completing a letter to her two children. she tells the nurse, "i want to leave this for my children in case anything goes wrong today." which response by the nurse would be most therapeutic?
