Answer: The answer is "You have concerns about whether this treatment is the best option."

Step-by-step explanation:

The other options are ruled out because a Doctor or nurse isn't to impose a suggested treatment on a patient. The statement by the nurse which states that the client has concerns about the treatment option allows the Patient or client to ask questions that bother them or that they aren't sure about in order to get clarifications.

Myocardial Infarction is the blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle. It is the medical name for heart attack.

Thrombolytic therapy is the admission of drugs which dissolve clots that block major blood vessels (arteries and veins).

I hope this helps.
