A nurse grimaces while changing a patient's colostomy bag. Which effect will the nurse's behavior $\mathbf{most}$ likely have on the patient?

A) Assist recovery by using honest communication.
B) Motivate the patient to increase physical activity.
C) Promote development of a negative body image.
D) Develop a kind nickname for the colostomy bag.

Negative nonverbal reactions by a nurse to a patient's scar or surgical alterations contribute to the patient's developing a negative body image. Nurses who have shocked or disgusted facial expressions contribute to patients' developing a negative body image. Expressions of distaste by the nurse will not facilitate recovery or ongoing communication, encourage physical activity, or promote acceptance of the colostomy bag by adopting a positive nickname.
