B
This patient is using displacement. She is transferring the emotions she feels toward her husband to the nurse. When a patient uses the coping mechanism of reaction formation, the patient is aware of her feelings but acts in an opposite manner to what she is really feeling. With the coping mechanism of denial, the patient transforms reality by refusing to acknowledge thoughts, feelings, desires, or impulses. With conversion, emotional conflict is changed into physical symptoms that have no physical basis.
