参考答案: A

参考解析: Verbalizing the observed behavior is a therapeutic communication technique in which the nurse acknowledges what the client is feeling. Offering to listen to the client express her anger can help the nurse and the client understand its cause and begin to deal with it. Although stress can exacerbate the symptoms of SLE, telling the client to calm down doesn't acknowledge her feelings. Offering to get the nursing supervisor also doesn't acknowledge the client's feelings. Ignoring the client's feelings suggests that the nurse has no interest in what the client has said.
