Answer to Question 2

D
In this case, the nurse lacks information about what stressors the patient is coping with or about what coping skills already possessed. As a result, further assessment is indicated before potential solutions can be explored. Suggesting further exploration of the stress facing the patient is the only option that involves further assessment rather than suggesting a particular intervention.
