Feedback:
While interviewing the Malaysian client, the nurse should sit at a distance of more than one arm's length from the client. The nurse should not sit alongside the client, as the client may feel uncomfortable. If the nurse sits at the back of the client, the nurse may not be able to observe the client's body language. If the nurse sits in a corner of the room, communication may not be effective.
