You look comfortable and ready to participate in an admission interview. Shall we get started?' D. Hello. My name is and I am a nurse. How you would like to be addressed by staff?'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct opening identifies the nurses role and politely seeks direction for addressing the patient in a way that will make him or her comfortable.

The nurse should address patients by name and not assume patients want to be called by a first name. The nurse should always introduce self.
