A nurse is interviewing a client who is contemplating a behavior change. According to the processes of Motivational Interviewing, which of the following client behaviors indicates that the nurse has successfully engaged with the client?

A. Begins to discuss how their partner and children are important to them. While discussing relationships is valuable, it does not necessarily indicate readiness for behavior change. B. Asks to change the topic during the interview process. Changing the topic may indicate discomfort or resistance rather than engagement. C. Requests more information about treatment options. While curiosity about treatment is positive, it does not necessarily indicate commitment to change. D. Discusses reasons for making a behavior change. When a client verbalizes reasons for change, it shows they are actively considering taking action, which is a key goal of motivational interviewing.
