  a. Tell me why you were crying.
  b. How did your wrist get injured?
  c. How can I help you feel more comfortable?
  d. What was happening just before you started to feel this way?

A clear definition of the immediate problem provides the best opportunity to find a solution. Asking about recent upsetting events permits the assessment of the precipitating event. Asking why questions is a poor communication technique.
