An 80-year-old patient has difficulty walking because of arthritis and says. "It's awful to be old. Every day is a struggle. No one cares about old people. Which is the nurse's most therapeutic response?

"Everyone here cares about old people. That's why we work here."

"It sounds like you're having a difficult time. Tell me about it."

"Let's not focus on the negative. Tell me something good."

"You are still able to get around, and your mind is alert."
