Rationale: Prior to communicating with this client, the nurse recognizes the client is acting out. Adolescents tend to act out feelings and conflicts rather than verbalize them. The other choices relate to how the nurse may deal with the child's behavior. It is important that the nurse recognize the feelings and help the child to be held accountable for behavior.
