What does the term empathetic mean?

  1. Identifying with and understanding the feelings of others

  2. Providing financial support

  3. Teaching health-related skills

  4. Directing others in their work

The correct answer is: Identifying with and understanding the feelings of others

Empathetic means being able to identify with and understand the feelings of others. This requires a deep understanding of others' emotions and perspective. Financial support, teaching health-related skills, and directing others in their work are all related to actions and tasks, rather than feelings and empathy. Therefore, they are not accurate definitions of the term "empathetic".
