- A. You must take it because the prescription is important
- B. Most patients do not have this difficulty
- C. Let us look at each concern and find a workable solution
- D. You should ask another health worker to explain it
Explanation
Exploring each concern keeps the counseling client centered and supports collaborative problem solving. Direct commands and dismissive statements can increase resistance. Referral is not the first response when the nurse can begin addressing the concerns.
