Paul is terminally ill of cancer. Looking sad, he expresses “Wala na yata

“Mukhang napakabigat ng dinadamdam ninyo. Andito po ako at pwede
tayong mag-usap.”

aggravate the loneliness of the patient which would make him feel
helpless. Choice D defines false hopes/ false reassurance which is a
non-therapeutic communication. Choice A allows verbalization of
feelings of the patient and offering of self.
Huwag po ninyong isipin ang sakit ninyo. Bale wala iyon. Andito naman
ako para makausap ninyo.”
