Six months ago, a woman had a prophylactic double mastectomy because of a family history of breast cancer.  One week ago, this woman learned her husband was involved in an extramarital affair. The woman tearfully, "What else can happen?" If the woman's immediate family is unable to provide sufficient support, the nurse should:
a.   suggest hospitalization for a short period.
b.   ask what other relatives or friends are available for support.
c.   tell the patient, "You are a strong person. You can get through this crisis."
d.   foster insight by relating the present situation to earlier situations involving loss.
