A patient with lung cancer comes to the radiation treatment center. The therapist smells smoke on the patient. In order to help the patient, he sits the patient down and firmly, in a loud voice, describes how irresponsible and stupid it is to smoke. Which statement best describes how this was handled?

The situation was handled correctly because the patient needs some tough love to quit smoking.

The situation was handled incorrectly because the therapist humiliated the patient.

The situation was handled incorrectly because the therapist did not respect the patient's right to privacy.

The situation was handled correctly because it is the therapist's job to help the patient recover.
