don't smoke, drink, or take drugs, do you?" This question is an example of:
A) talking too much.
B) using confrontation.
C) using biased or leading questions.
D) using blunt language to deal with distasteful topics. - Correct Answer-C) using
biased or leading questions.

other answer.

C) tired and needs a break from the interview.
D) uncomfortable talking about his son's treatment. - Correct Answer-D)

muscle groups shows relaxation, physical comfort, and a willingness to share

defensive and anxious. Note any change in posture. If a person in a relaxed
position suddenly tenses, it suggests possible discomfort with the new topic.

communicate—by signing, lip reading, or writing. If the person prefers lip reading,
then the nurse should be sure to face him or her squarely and have good lighting
on the nurse's face. The nurse should not exaggerate lip movements because this
distorts words. Similarly, shouting distorts the reception of a hearing aid the
person may wear. The nurse should speak slowly and should supplement his or her
voice with appropriate hand gestures or pantomime.
