Nurses assess family dynamics, such as who makes healthcare
decisions in the family or how the client and family members
,interact, because these may impact the client's approach to
health care and care planning. It is also important for the nurse
to assess the client's cultural values, beliefs, and practices,
including physical well-being, health practices, and emotional
well-being. Language and affect would not be assessed as part
of this client's family dynamics.

Comfortable Correct Answer Rapport building
The nondirective or rapport building approach allows the client
to control thepurpose, subject matter, and pacing. This approach
can be helpful when interviewing a client with a high level of
anxiety. The directive interview is highly structured and
controlled by the nurse. Closed questions are those that elicit a
'yes' or 'no' answer and are not likely to elicit much information
or help build rapport with the client. Comfort is a consideration
in preparing the room prior to the interview.
