The nurse is leading a therapy session dealing with group guidelines. The nurse is confident that a chronically late patient is demonstrating a maintenance role when she states:
 
  a. I guess the reason I'm chronically late is that I don't particularly value what we do in here. Who believes that this stuff really works outside this group?
  b. I know that I struggle to be on time, too. Can we agree to try to be on time and that we will start the group session after waiting only 5 minutes?
  c. Although the rules were agreed on by everyone when the group was formed, I believe we should review them now..
  d. I thought we agreed last week that the rule was that everyone needed to be on time if possible..
