Trying to solve a patient's personal or emotional problems is termed as?

  1. Counseling

  2. Advising

  3. Mediating

  4. Coaching

The correct answer is: Advising

B Advising. This is the correct answer because counseling typically involves working through issues, providing guidance and support, and helping the patient find their own solutions. Mediating is similar to counseling, but usually involves diffusing a conflict between two or more parties. Coaching is more focused on helping the patient achieve a specific goal, while advising is focused on providing suggestions and advice for the patient's overall well-being and personal growth. Overall, advising is the most appropriate term for trying to solve a patient's personal or emotional problems.
