Answer to Question 2

D
The most therapeutic response is to say, No, it never is easy. Can you tell me some of the things that are particularly difficult for you? The nurse acknowledges the client's feelings and offers to listen to the client's concerns. This enhances trust and strengthens the nurse/client relationship. The other responses do not encourage the client to express feelings.
