Question

a nurse is caring for an older adult client who becomes agitated when the nurse requests that the clients dentures be removed prior to surgery. which of the following responses should the nurse make? \its for your safety. dentures can slip and block your airway during surgery.\ \you wouldnt want your teeth to be lost or broken during surgery, would you?\ \the anesthesiologist requires everyone to remove their dentures.\ \what worries you about being without your teeth?\

Explanation:

The nurse should address the client's concerns. Asking "What worries you about being without your teeth?" shows empathy and aims to understand the root - cause of the agitation. The other responses focus on reasons for removal but do not directly engage with the client's emotional state.

Answer:

"What worries you about being without your teeth?"
