- A. What do you hope for?
- B. No, you're not going to get well.
- C. Do you have questions about what is happening?
- D. I'm happy you are being realistic about your future.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This open-ended response is an example of following the patients lead. It provides an opportunity for the patient to speak about whatever is on his or her mind.

The distracters are less relevant to providing a network of support.
