Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
A patient should be comfortable when interviewing.The pain medication should have time to work before the nurse would consider interviewing the patient,so asking questions when giving the medication is not a good idea.It is appropriate to interview patients without family/friends around.In nearly every culture,calling a patient Mr.or Mrs.shows respect and is,therefore,correct.Reading the patient's health record is appropriate preparation for an interview.
