Which nursing intervention best supports a client's positive self-concept?

A. Avoiding discussions about feelings or identity can make the patient feel unheard or invalidated. B. Correcting misconceptions too early can come off as dismissive and may damage rapport and trust. C. Prioritizing clinical data over the patient’s own report can undermine their sense of self and autonomy. D. Allowing the patient to participate in decision-making about their care fosters autonomy, respect, and empowerment, all of which enhance self-concept.
