The best response by the nurse in this scenario is: **“This type of dialysis will provide more independence.”**
This response emphasizes one of the key advantages of continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (CCPD), which is that it allows for greater independence compared to other forms of dialysis. Patients can often manage their own treatments at home, which can lead to a better quality of life.
While the other statements may contain elements of truth, they do not provide as constructive or supportive a message to the client regarding their choice.
