During the working phase of the nurse-client relationship, the nurse directs the client to do which of the following?

A. Abandon old needs: This is not realistic or supportive during the working phase. The working phase involves addressing current issues and developing strategies for change, rather than abandoning old needs outright. B. Seek assistance: Seeking assistance is more appropriate for the orientation phase. C. Explore feelings: Exploring feelings is key during the working phase to understand and address issues affecting their mental health. It facilitates self-awareness and emotional processing. D. Show positive change: While desirable, focusing on showing positive change is more of an outcome rather than a directive during the working phase
