A client says to the nurse, "I was cheating on my lover because I need the thrill of seeing someone new, and now my lover has left me to go live with this other woman. I know that this other woman wants more than friendship from my lover, and I can't make my lover see that I love her and that my affairs are meaningless. I don't want to lose her, but I can't stop cheating, because I need the thrill it brings." Which statement by the nurse would be therapeutic?
A. "So she's left you for cheating on her. If you can't be monogamous, I guess you'll have to be content with one-night stands." B. "I'm confused. What is it that you've come to me for? It sounds like your lover refuses to share her lover with others, no matter how trivial the dalliances." C. "Perhaps your task is not to make your lover see that your dalliances are meaningless but to look at your own behavior and determine what you would like or not like to be different." D. "It sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it, too. If you can't have both things, which would you prefer — the thrills of one-night stands or the steady support of a loving relationship?"
