Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The response, "What concerns you most about a cesarean birth" focuses on what the client is saying and asks for clarification, which is the most therapeutic response. The response, "Everything will be ok" is belittling the client's feelings. The response, "Don't worry about it. It will be over soon" will indicate that the client's feelings are not important. The response, "The physician will be in later and you can talk to him" does not allow the client to verbalize her feelings when she wishes to do that.
