"Tell me why you’re concerned about what I think."
C.
"Do you think you could walk if you wanted to?"

Suggested Answer:D🗳️
This response answers the question honestly and nonjudgmentally and helps to preserve the clients self-esteem. Choice 1 is an open and candid response but diminishes the clients self-esteem. Choice 2 doesnt answer the clients question and is not helpful. Choice 3 increases the clients anxiety because her inability to walk might be directly related to an unconscious psychological conflict that has not been resolved. Psychosocial Integrity
