    Which statement by a mature adult client with advanced prostate cancer best indicates that he has reached a level of acceptance of his prognosis?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Understanding that prostate cancer mostly affects older men reflects awareness but does not necessarily indicate acceptance of the prognosis. B. Expressing that the client has found support from faith and family and rejecting negative outlooks shows a level of emotional acceptance and coping with the reality of advanced cancer. C. Believing that the disease was undetected for a long time suggests denial or frustration rather than acceptance of the prognosis. D. A desire to try every possible treatment reflects hope and possibly denial rather than acceptance of the prognosis.
