A 20-year-old man sees his physician because he is having trouble sleeping. The man says, "I’m having a hard time since my mother died 3 weeks ago. I never thought she would die so young. I am worried about my father; he is not coping very well. It has been taking me 3 to 4 hours to get to sleep, and I failed an exam because I can’t concentrate to study." Which of the following responses by the physician would be the most appropriate?


A. "Have you thought about taking a short trip? Sometimes it helps to get away for awhile."
B. "I know how you feel. My mother died when I was 8 years old, and it was really hard for me."
C. "I’ll give you a prescription that will help you get to sleep and sleep well through the night."
D. "It sounds like losing your mother has been very difficult. And now you also are worried about your father’s well-being."
E. "You still have a lot of life to look forward to. You’ll feel better soon."
