A client presents to the emergency department (ED) reporting abdominal pain. The nurse observes the client's right cheek and eye are bruised and suspects possible domestic violence. Which approach is best for the nurse to use when interviewing the client?

A: Starting with less sensitive questions allows the nurse to build rapport and establish trust with the client, making it easier for them to disclose more sensitive information about possible abuse. B: Asking vague, non-specific questions may confuse the client and hinder open communication. Clear, respectful questioning is necessary. C: Getting difficult questions out of the way may overwhelm the client and discourage disclosure of abuse. D: Sharing personal values can lead to judgmental interactions and may not put the client at ease. A neutral, nonjudgmental approach is key.
