A nurse is talking with a client who reports that they have started feeling anxious every time they have to leave their house. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

Choice A Reason: "Have you tried leaving your house just once per day?" This response assumes a potential solution without fully understanding the client's feelings. It doesn't encourage open discussion or exploration of the client's anxiety. Choice B Reason: "Have you thought about moving to a new neighborhood?" This response jumps to a significant life change as a solution without exploring the client's current situation and emotions. It may not be a practical or necessary step. Choice C Reason: "Let's discuss how you feel when you leave your house." This response is an open and therapeutic approach that encourages the client to express their feelings and thoughts about the situation. It allows the nurse to gather more information and better understand the client's anxiety related to leaving the house. The other options do not facilitate open communication or exploration of the client's feelings. Choice D Reason: "Tell me why you have developed an aversion to leaving your house." While this response is more open-ended, it phrases the question in a somewhat confrontational manner, which might make the client defensive. The previous response ("Let's discuss how you feel when you leave your house") is gentler and inviting.
