This might be a double definition.

'prepared' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for open that I've seen before include "'Frank, not secret (4)'" , "hardly high-security" , "ready to entertain new ideas" , "Honest - frank" , "Not enclosed" .)
