A nurse is caring for a client who is inquiring about the use of herbal remedies in treating manifestations of mental illness. Which of the following topics should the nurse prepare to discuss with the client?

A. While it's important to gather relevant information about the assault, asking open-ended questions about the perpetrator may not be the most appropriate approach initially.

B. Speaking softly helps to convey empathy and can make the client feel more comfortable and less threatened.

C. Direct eye contact can be perceived as intrusive or threatening, especially for individuals who have experienced trauma such as sexual assault.

D. Sitting next to the client rather than directly across can create a more relaxed and less intimidating atmosphere. This approach can help establish a sense of partnership and support, making the client feel more at ease.

C. Vulnerable populations, such as those with low socioeconomic status, the elderly, racial and ethnic minorities, and individuals with certain health conditions, may experience higher levels of health risks due to various factors such as limited access to healthcare, environmental exposures, social determinants of health, and underlying health disparities.

A. Although variability of response to stressors is important it is not the primary concern

B. Although older individuals are vulnerable to risk factors, the nurse should include all vulnerable groups.

D. While resilience can mitigate the impact of risk factors on health outcomes, it is not a determinant of health risk itself.
