Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Asking "Would it help to discuss your feelings about this hospitalization?" is more closed and may not effectively promote discussion about the client's health history.

B. Asking "What brought you to the hospital?" is an open-ended question that allows the client to provide a comprehensive answer and facilitates a meaningful discussion about their health and hospitalization.

C. "Would you tell me about all of your medical issues?" is too broad and could overwhelm the client. A more specific question would be more effective.

D. "Do you want to talk about your health concerns?" is a yes/no question and may not encourage open communication.

A. WBC count B. BUN C. Potassium D. RBC count

C. Potassium levels are typically related to electrolyte imbalances, not directly indicative of infection.

D. RBC count is related to anemia or blood volume, not infection.
