Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
When the nurse says,"I'm leaving for the day.Is there anything I can do for you before I leave?" the nurse-patient relationship is entering the termination phase.The termination phase is the conclusion of the relationship,which can occur at the end of a nurse's shift.The preinteraction phase occurs before the nurse meets the patient.The statement "I'll be admitting you to our floor as soon as I obtain your history" demonstrates the preinteraction phase of the nurse-patient relationship.The nurse introduces herself to the patient during the orientation phase.During the working phase of the nurse-patient relationship,feelings are explored.This phase is demonstrated when the nurse says,"You seem upset today.Would you like to talk about whatever is bothering you?"
