The PMHNP is discussing a 33-year-old male client's alcohol use disorder and his reasons for possibly wanting to change. Which of the following statements by the PMHNP would be considered summarizing?

Choice A reason: This is an open-ended question that invites further discussion. It is exploratory, not summarizing. Choice B reason: This is a reflective statement that validates the client’s insight and emotional experience. It is supportive but not a summary of the client’s narrative. Choice C reason: This is a clear summarizing statement. It encapsulates the client’s motivations, experiences, and evolving understanding of alcohol’s impact. It reflects back the client’s narrative in a structured and comprehensive way. Choice D reason: This is a brief reflection that captures part of the client’s experience. However, it lacks the depth and structure of a full summary.
