Question

a nurse is preparing to interview a client and is reviewing therapeutic communication techniques. which of the following statements should the nurse make to affirm the clients behavior change? \you do not like your medications and would like to try an alternative.\ \you would like to speak to a therapist after treatment.\ \you would like more information. i will get that for you right away.\ \you completed your antibiotic regimen. you are serious about improving your health.\

Explanation:

Affirming behavior change involves acknowledging and reinforcing positive actions. The statement "You completed your antibiotic regimen. You are serious about improving your health" specifically recognizes the client's completion of a task (antibiotic regimen) which is a behavior change and links it to a positive intention (improving health). The other statements either focus on expressing preferences (not liking medications, wanting to speak to a therapist) or addressing an immediate request (getting information) rather than affirming a behavior change.

Answer:

"You completed your antibiotic regimen. You are serious about improving your health."
