B
The correct pose is most neutral related to arms and legs. Leaning slightly forward denotes interest in the person toward which the nurse is inclined. Leg crossing is not accepted in some cultures, and leaning backward suggests the individual is placing the barrier of space between self and the other person. Crossing the leg to show the bottom of the foot is considered impolite in some cultures. Turning away suggests distancing. Crossing the arms over the chest may be perceived as a closed authoritarian posture.
