Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Information about the patient's health status and medications are gathered during the working phase of the interview.The orientation phase begins with introducing oneself and one's position and explaining the purpose of the interview.The nurse explains to patients why the data are being collected and assures the patient that the information will remain confidential and will be used only by health care professionals who provide his or her care.When the interview comes to an end,this is called termination.Reasoning is part of clinical judgment,not a phase of the interview.
