During group therapy, the psychiatric nurse notices that when Client A complains to Client B about Client B's loud singing late at night, Client B leans back in his chair, turns away from Client A, and folds his arms across his chest without
 
  responding verbally to Client A. In turn, Client A smiles and winks at a third client in the group. The nurse would BEST assist these clients to understand more clearly how feedback contributes to communication by: a. remaining silent and allowing the group communication process to continue naturally without intervention
  b. asking other group members to interpret both Client A's and Client B's nonverbal behaviors
  c. commenting on these behaviors and asking both Client A and Client B to clarify their nonverbal behaviors
  d. ending the group session at that point so that both Client A and Client B can spend time reflecting on the interaction
