Action responses are the second group of effective interviewing or communication techniques. These responses stimulate patients to make some change in their thinking and behavior. Action responses include techniques such as focusing, exploring, presenting reality, confronting, informing, collaborating, limit setting, and normalizing. Focusing is the only option that is an action response. It allows the nurse to concentrate on or "track" a specific point the patient made. All the other options are listening responses.
