A man has been admitted to the observation unit for observation after being treated for a large cut on his forehead. As the nurse works through the interview, one of the standard questions has to do with alcohol, tobacco, and drug use.
When the nurse asks him about tobacco use, he states, I quit smoking after my wife died 7 years ago. However, the nurse notices an open pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket. Using confrontation, the nurse could say:
a.
Mr. K., I know that you are lying.
b.
Mr. K., come on, tell me how much you smoke.
c.
Mr. K., I didn't realize your wife had died. It must be difficult for you at this time. Please tell me more about that.
d.
Mr. K., you have said that you don't smoke, but I see that you have an open pack of cigarettes in your pocket.
