c. what the patient can do now to cope

Given the cultural background of the Korean American patient, Rohan may choose to focus on what the patient can do now to cope with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. This may involve discussing support systems available within the Korean American community, alternative treatment options that align with traditional Korean medicine practices, and ways to promote emotional and mental well-being during the progression of the disease.
