A nurse's neighbor confides that she has been treating a health problem through a faith healer in her religion but is worried because the condition seems to be worsening. She asks the nurse what she should do. The nurse's best response would be:
A) "Faith healing, although frequently effective, makes a disease more difficult or even impossible to treat with modern medicine."
B) "Many people use medical treatment along with faith healing. Is there anything in your religion that forbids medical treatment?"
C) "Faith healing may take longer than medical treatment to work. Are you doing exactly as your healer is directing you?"
D) "You should see a physician or your faith healer, but not both."
