Feedback:
Clarification is necessary if the client answers a question and the nurse does not clearly understand the answer or wants additional information. The nurse can ask the client to repeat what was said, or may say, "Tell me more about it" or "Explain that to me" or "What do you mean by….?" "Do you smoke?" is an example of a closed-ended question.
