An appropriate question for the nurse to ask to assess support systems is:
a. "Has anything upsetting occurred in the last few days?"
b. "What led you to seek help at this time?"
c. "How does this problem affect your life?"
d. "Who can be helpful to you during this time?"
D
Asking who can be helpful at this time focuses on who can serve as a source of support to the patient. The other options focus on the patient's perception of the precipitating event.
