In performing a psychosocial assessment, the nurse begins by asking questions that encourage the client...

Questions should be asked in a precise order (specifically, from the most-simple description to the moredifficult

dilemmas provides further assessment data as well as the client’s interpretation of what has happened. Feelings,

solutions and articulating intent are more complex processes.Psychosocial Integrity
