"Where would you like to begin?" is an open-ended question that allows the client to choose their own starting point and encourages them to express their thoughts and concerns in their own way. This can help the nurse to build rapport with the client and create a safe and nonjudgmental space for them to share. The other options (A, C, D) are more directive and may not be as effective in encouraging the client to verbalize their concerns.
