A patient diagnosed with an alcohol abuse disorder says, "Drinking helps me cope with being a single parent." Which therapeutic response by the nurse would help the patient conceptualize the drinking objectively?
a.   "Sooner or later, alcohol will kill you. Then what will happen to your children?"
b.   "I hear a lot of defensiveness in your voice. Do you really believe this?"
c.   "If you were coping so well, why were you hospitalized again?"
d.   "Tell me what happened the last time you drank."
