Timothy mentioned to the medical assistant that he sometimes feels stressed when balancing studying and

school activities and sometimes feels overwhelmed. What is the best therapeutic response the medical
assistant should provide?
Timothy, you are such a smart boy I know you are not going to let books get the best of you!
O Don't worry about it, Timothy. You will grow out of it soon just like my son did, be patient.
Tell Timothy the doctor is very good at helping and offer to provide some stress and time management
pamphlets after the exam,
O Offer to tutor him once a week with the approval of Timothy's mother

Answer:

Tell Timothy the doctor is very good at helping and offer to provide some stress and time management pamphlets after the exam

Step-by-step explanation:

He is struggling with stress.

The first one is not correct because it doesn't change his situation just by telling him books aren't going to get the best of him. They already have!

The second one isn't correct because come on! If you were in this situation would it really help you if somebody said "Don't worry about it, Timothy"? Nope. It would most likely make you feel like nobody cares.

The fourth one isn't correct because he never said he was struggling with doing his work. He said he was struggling with balancing his work with other activities.

The third option is correct because this solves his problem with stress and time management. The rest don't help him.

Hope this helps!
