    Which of the following statements would be an empathetic response in a client interaction?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "Why do you think your father chose that time and place to yell at you?" This question might come across as blaming or accusatory, potentially making the client defensive. B. "Well it sounds like your father has difficulty controlling his temper." This statement focuses on the father's behavior rather than the client's feelings, which isn't empathetic. C. "You must have been embarrassed when your father yelled at you in the grocery store." This response acknowledges and validates the client's feelings, demonstrating empathy. D. "You really should find your own housing and get out of the situation with your father." This advice-giving response might seem insensitive to the client's current situation and lacks empathy.
