While obtaining the health history of a client, the nurse learns the client's father was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his twenties, the same age the client is now. The client hesitates to discuss the topic and answer questions about the father. Which approach is best for the nurse to use to interview the client about mental health concerns?

Rationale: A. When a client is hesitant to discuss a sensitive topic, it's best to ease into the conversation by asking less intrusive questions. This can help establish trust and make the client feel more comfortable before addressing more sensitive matters. B. Asking difficult questions first can make the client feel overwhelmed or defensive. C. Vague or nonspecific questions can confuse the client and hinder the discussion. D. Sharing personal values is not an effective approach to build rapport in a sensitive interview about mental health concerns.
