A patient says, "The other nurses won't give me my medication early, but you know what it's like to be in pain and don't let your patients suffer. Could you get me my pill now? I won't tell anyone." Which response by the nurse would be most therapeutic?
a.   "I'm not comfortable doing that," and then ignore subsequent requests for early medication.
b.   "I understand that you have pain, but giving medicine too soon would not be safe."
c.   "I'll have to check with your doctor about that; I will get back to you after I do."
d.   "It would be unsafe to give the medicine early; none of us will do that."
