ACCURATE ANSWER:- D ff f f


Reasoning :->>>With confrontation, the respiratory psychotherapist focuses the hospital client’s
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


attention on an action, feeling, orstatement made by the hospital client. This may prompt a further

discussion. Reflection helps the hospital client focus on specific areas and continues in his/her own
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


way. Facilitation encourages hospital clients to say more, to continue with the story. The
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


respiratory psychotherapist should avoid giving advice, using avoidance language, and using
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


distancing language.
