A nurse is preparing to interview a client and is reviewing therapeutic communication techniques. Which of the following should the nurse include in the interview to invite the client to clarify feelings?

A. Asking about understanding of treatment is informational and does not encourage the client to explore or clarify emotions. B. Asking about resources or information is also focused on logistics, not feelings. C. "Tell me what kind of coping skills you have" invites the client to express and clarify their feelings, strategies, and emotional responses. This is a key component of therapeutic communication, as it encourages self-reflection and deeper discussion of emotions. D. "You feel like you have the support needed" is a closed-ended statement rather than an open-ended prompt, limiting the client’s opportunity to clarify or expand on their feelings.
