ANS: D
Survivors who have social and emotional support systems are likely to have less psychological distress. Relationships are critical for cancer survivors. The nurse does not necessarily have problems with the standard visiting hours. Not enough information is provided to indicate that the patient is near death, and not all patients in the ICU are dying.
