Question:
A female patient is about to begin her first chemotherapy treatment. She tells the LPN, “It sounds silly, but I’m just so afraid of how people will react to me once I lose all my hair. I always had such pretty hair… I know, stupid, right?” What is the LPN’s best response?
A
“Many people have a hard time with chemo-related hair loss. Tell me a little more about your concerns.”
explanation
This option is the only one that validates the patient’s feelings and is open-ended enough to allow her to voice her concerns. The other options either dismiss her feelings or tell the patient what to do.
