网考网解析：
[解析] 事实细节题。此题考查的是哪种陈述符合文章的内容，我们应该从选项入手，在文中寻找和选项相关的细节。选项[A]是说，要如实地把重症病人的情况告诉他们。第四段第三句说，这些病人非常希望知道他们的病情以及离死亡还有多远；最后一句说，那些知道自己病情的病人were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally...，既然结果是好的，那么就该把病情告诉病人，因此选项[A]符合文章内容。第四段第一句是说truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies对于family members, and doctors and nurses是非常重要的，也就是说许多doctors and nurses还没有understand，因此排除选项[B]。第四段第三句说，病人非常希望知道when the end was near，因此排除选项[C]。根据第四段最后一句可知，知道自己病情的病人可以reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death，故排除选项[D]。 查看试题解析出处>>
