D
Pain must first be addressed before the interview can proceed. Option a is a stereotypical com-ment. Option b (exploring) is best addressed once pain has been assessed and treated. Explora-tion of needs, feelings, emotions, and concerns would be addressed in the working phase. Option c is likely to elicit a defensive response and will hinder therapeutic communication.
