C.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Rationale:

 

A. A client who is 4 days postpartum and has mastitis should be assessed, but this condition is less acute compared to the others.

 

B. A client who had a bilateral tubal ligation 12 hr previously requires post-operative monitoring, but this is less urgent than the client with an ectopic pregnancy.

 

C. A client admitted 1 hr ago for an ectopic pregnancy is the priority as this condition can be life-threatening and requires immediate assessment.

 

D. A client who is 1 day postpartum after a late-term miscarriage requires care, but the immediacy is less than that of the ectopic pregnancy client.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Rationale:

A. "What do you have against me? It must be something or you wouldn't be criticizing my care." is defensive and confrontational, which is not appropriate for assertive communication.

B. "You shouldn't make accusations. Your nursing care doesn't always set a good example." is also defensive and shifts the focus away from addressing the concern directly.

C. "I feel as though I met the standard of care. Would you tell me more about your concerns?" is an assertive response that acknowledges the concern and seeks constructive feedback.

D. "I am at a loss for words. I always do my best to give good care to my clients." is not assertive as it does not address the concern directly or invite constructive discussion.
