Rationale: Anxiety is a human response consisting of both physical and emotional changes that everyone experiences when faced with stressful situations. It is a pattern of emotional and behavioral responses to stress. Anxiety is a common experience for many individuals.

Rationale: The most appropriate way for the nurse to greet the child is by asking, 'How did you feel after your last treatment?' This question allows the child to share their experience voluntarily, empowering them to feel in control of the conversation. It also demonstrates empathy and a caring attitude. Option B, 'What are your thoughts on the treatment so far?' is broad and may not address the child's immediate feelings after the last session. Option C, 'Did you experience any side effects after the last session?' focuses solely on side effects and may predispose the child to think negatively. Option D, 'Are you ready for the next round of treatment?' does not address the child's current well-being or feelings, missing an opportunity for emotional support and connection.

Correct Answer: B

Choice A is incorrect because palliative care is not solely limited to end-of-life care but also includes managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Choice C is incorrect as palliative care is focused on providing care and support during the individual's life, not on funeral arrangements after death. Choice D is incorrect as palliative care is primarily directed towards the individual receiving care, although it may also provide support to their family and friends during the care process.
