A Nurse Is Caring for a Patient with Cancer, Who

A nurse is caring for a patient with cancer, who describes using an herbal preparation and guided imagery as part of her treatment. Considerations related to patient self-determination would direct the nurse to:

A) honor the patient's right to use therapies other than conventional medicine to address her health care needs.
B) tell the patient that she should stop these therapies because they have no research to support them.
C) inform the patient that she has a right to do what she wants, but that it's crazy to mix different traditions.
D) encourage the patient to share the herbal preparation with other patients to see if it might help them as well.
