A mother and her son are in the emergency department. The mother is extremely upset. Earlier, the son had become so angry that he put his hand through a glass window and had to have stitches.
 
  The physician suggested a psychiatric consult. Now the mother asks, Do you think my son is crazy? Which of the following is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
  a. Absolutely not. But a psychiatrist can help your son realize more appropriate ways of displaying anger.
  b. Have you had other reasons to think your son is crazy? Perhaps the psychiatrist can reassure you that your son is just an adolescent coping with hormones.
  c. Your son is having problems coping with anger. And naturally you're upset. Let the psychiatrist determine whether your son is crazy or not.
  d. Your son is having problems with behavior, which is distressing all of you. A psychiatrist may be able to help your son cope with life in a more acceptable way.
