Ans: B
By maintaining silence, the nurse allows the client to gather his or her thoughts and to proceed at his or her own pace. Silence may help the nurse determine an appropriate response or engage in self-reflection, but it is more directed toward allowing the client to focus. Silence does not reflect passive listening. Passive listening involves sitting quietly and letting the client talk, rambling without focusing, or guiding the thought process.
