Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The statement "I'm leaving for the day. Is there anything I can do for you before I leave?" indicates that the nurse is preparing to end the therapeutic relationship and shift the patient's care to another healthcare provider. This is typically a key indicator that the termination phase of the nurse-patient relationship is approaching.
