Plz, only respond with clear explanation. Thank YOU.
This one does not make sense at all to me.
36.
A 6-year-old boy with glioblastoma has a recurrence of the tumor despite aggressive treatment. The physician discusses the patient's prognosis with his parents and recommends palliative care. The parents ask how they should talk with their son about his prognosis and possible death. The physician advises that the
parents should be honest and follow the patient's lead during the conversation. This patient most likely has which of the following concepts of death?
(A) Being asleep
(B) Being final
© Being a long journey
(D) Being a temporary separation from his parents
(E) No understanding of death
I chose E cuz I was thinking it's a 6 yo boy he wouldn't know much. But answer is B?
