A nurse in a mental health facility is preparing to interview a client who has schizophrenia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C

This approach is recommended for clients with schizophrenia to establish rapport and ease anxiety. It allows the client to engage in a simple way, reducing the pressure of providing complex answers. Sitting on the other side of a table (
