It provides an opportunity for the nurse to explore the client's reasons for wanting to leave, discuss the potential consequences of leaving against medical advice, and address any concerns or fears the client may have about continuing treatment.

Option b is not appropriate because it does not address the potential risks associated with leaving treatment against medical advice.
