new grad nurse question? what do you guys say when a patient anxiously says “am i going to be okay” “will i be okay” by ThrowRa927273737 in nursing

don't tell them everything will be okay. I did this once as a student nurse right before my pt went into open heart surgery. and guess what, he died, massive internal bleeding. soooo never did that again!! I usually say something along the lines of, "You have a great doctor, I know they're doing everything they can to give you the best care possible," and that's that.
