During an interview, a patient attempts to shift the focus from self to the nurse by asking personal questions. The nurse should respond by saying:
a.   "Why do you keep asking about me?"
b.   "Nurses direct the interviews with patients."
c.   "Do not ask questions about my personal life."
d.   "The time we spend together is to discuss your concerns."

D
When a patient tries to focus on the nurse, the nurse should refocus the discussion back onto the patient. Telling the patient that interview time should be used to discuss patient concerns refocuses discussion in a neutral way. Telling patients not to ask about the nurse's personal life shows indignation. Saying that nurses prefer to direct the interview reflects superiority. "Why" questions are probing and non-therapeutic.

Of course, what's an answer without an explanation.

Good luck
