B
Asking the client is an effective way of understanding the meaning of her behavior and is one of the principles of mental health care. Documentation of the nurse's interpretations without clarification would not be appropriate, nor would involving another client by asking for her interpretation of the situation. Asking the client to write in a journal is fine, but not in this circumstance.
