A nurse is discussing strategies to develop nurse-client therapeutic relationships with a newly licensed nurse. Which statement by the nurse accurately describes strategies for building a therapeutic relationship?

A. Listening attentively and summarizing the client's comments are key techniques in developing a therapeutic relationship, as they demonstrate understanding, empathy, and engagement. B. Asking questions that elicit only one-word responses limits the depth of conversation and does not encourage clients to express their feelings or concerns. C. Avoiding direct questions about suicidal behaviors or thoughts is not appropriate, as addressing these concerns directly is crucial in assessing and ensuring client safety. D. Allowing the client’s family to attend all group therapies may not always be appropriate, as it could impede the client’s ability to express themselves freely and might not be suitable for all therapeutic settings.
