A nurse is talking to a client who is explaining about her home situation and the intimate partner violence she recently experienced. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. "I'd like to hear more about how you are feeling." This response demonstrates empathy and encourages the client to express her feelings, which is critical for emotional support. B. "Let's talk about what is going on at work.": This dismisses the client’s concerns and shifts focus away from the abuse. C. "Now that you have come for help, you will feel much better.": This is dismissive and minimizes the client’s experience. D. "Why do you think your partner is angry with you?": This implies blame and can further traumatize the client.
