Asking these questions later in the interview will allow for some development of rapport and trust,so the client will more freely discuss these topics.In addition,the client may be ashamed to admit to not having an address.Asking the client about his or her highest level of education early in the conversation would make the client feel inadequate and would prevent the establishment of good rapport with the client.Asking the client about a sleeping location would occur during discharge planning,and encouraging immediate bathing would belittle the client.
