When the inpatient psychiatric nurse asks the newly-admitted patient to describe her social supports, the patient reports that she is newly divorced, has no siblings, her parents died last year, and she has little contact with her former in-laws, who
 
  subtly blame her for the divorce. She has few friends because most of her peers are not nearly as religiously conservative as she is. Which response related to social support would be most therapeutic? a. Encourage the patient to begin dating again, perhaps with members of her church.
  b. Discuss how divorce support groups could increase coping and social support.
  c. Note that being so particular about potential friends reduces social contact.
  d. Discuss using the internet as a way to find supportive others with similar values.
