Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
When discussing coping strategies, the nurse might ask what the patient does when upset, what usually relieves stress, and to whom the patient goes to talk about problems. The question regarding whether the patient's faith helps deal with stress fits well here. It would seem out of place if introduced during exploration of the other topics.
