A) Request that a nursing student conduct the admission interview.

C
Feedback:
The nurse should work with the team to identify nursing diagnoses and a plan of care. Nursing students may assist registered nurses with the admission interview but should not conduct the interview on their own. The nurse should include questions about the medical condition of the client because this is an important part of the client's medical history. Usually, nurses have to conduct the admission interview without the primary care provider present.
