Answer to Question 1

C
When a client is reluctant to discuss a given topic, the nursing intervention based on client-oriented therapy is to verify that the client has difficulty discussing the issue. The nurse should then let the issue rest until the client brings it up again. This approach helps the client feel safe in therapy, and it empowers the client.

C
