A nurse is working with a patient who has been diagnosed with a somatoform disorder. The patient asks, My last tests didn't show anything. When will I have more diagnostic testing? Which nursing response would be most therapeutic?
 
  a. You are resisting the idea that you do not have a physical illness..
  b. No more tests will be ordered. Your health maintenance organization (HMO) won't pay for repeating any tests..
  c. We think you need a rest from all the testing. We'll consider more tests at a later time..
  d. Since the tests were all negative, we will focus next on evaluating the role of stress in your life..
