Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The appropriate nursing reply would be to acknowledge the son's feelings of guilt and offer resources for support. Option A does exactly that, by stating that it is common to have mixed emotions and providing information about support groups for families in similar situations. Option B is dismissive of the son's emotions and may not effectively address his concerns. Option C is not relevant to the situation at hand, and Option D is potentially dishonest if the parent is truly confused and in need of care.
