This response is nontherapeutic because it dismisses the mother's feelings and suggests a solution that may not be feasible or appropriate for her at this time. It does not address the mother's concerns or offer any support or guidance. Choices A, B, and D are all therapeutic responses that acknowledge the mother's feelings, provide empathy, and encourage further communication.
