    HESI RN HEALTH ASSESSMENT PROCTORED EXAM

    Which is the best approach for the nurse to use when interviewing a client about alcohol and substance use?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Ask questions in a vague, nonspecific format: Vague questions won't elicit clear answers.B. Share personal values to put the client at ease: While building rapport is important, sharing personal values might not be necessary.C. Get the most difficult questions over with first: This can make the client defensive and less likely to be honest.D. Begin with less sensitive questions: Starting with general questions about lifestyle habits and then gradually transitioning to more specific questions about alcohol and substance use can create a more comfortable environment for open communication
