A) Do not probe into emotional issues.
B) Do not ask very personal questions.
C) Sit at the other corner of the room.
D) Maintain eye contact while talking.
Ans: D
While interviewing an Anglo-American client, the nurse should maintain eye contact, because it indicates openness and sincerity. Anglo-Americans freely express positive and negative feelings; therefore, the nurse may probe into emotional issues. Anglo-American culture is an open culture, and members of this culture don't mind providing personal information. Also, Anglo-Americans are not threatened by closeness, so the nurse may not have to sit in another corner of the room.
