A. minimize Jane's concerns, but suggest that she not try any more drugs.
B. support Jane's apprehension, suggest a referral for drug education and a discussion with her physician.
C. discuss Jane's drug use with her parents and ask them to discuss the dangers with her.
D. suggest that Jane get more information about the drugs she has taken.
B. support Jane's apprehension, suggest a referral for drug education and a discussion with her physician.
