Practice Question

Which is the best approach for the nurse to use when interviewing a client about sexual abuse?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Begin with questions that are less sensitive in nature.

Rationale:

🗣 Starting with less sensitive questions is a widely recommended technique in trauma-informed interviewing.

🗣 This strategy helps build trust and rapport before discussing deeply personal or traumatic experiences like sexual abuse.

🗣 Gradually progressing from general health or social questions to more sensitive topics allows the client to feel emotionally safer.

🗣 Clients who have experienced trauma may be hypervigilant or easily overwhelmed, so pacing the interview shows respect for emotional readiness.

🗣 This approach supports open disclosure, enhances the quality of information obtained, and protects the client's psychological well-being.
