    A nurse is caring for a newly admitted client who is suspicious of the nursing staff and other clients. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to establish a relationship with this client?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Disclose some personal information to the client: Disclosing personal information is not appropriate and may not help in building trust. B. Wait for the client to initiate interactions with the nurse. This approach might prolong the establishment of trust and rapport. C. Set aside short, frequent times each day to spend with the client. Regular, consistent interaction helps build trust and establish a relationship. D. Tell the client he reminds the nurse of her father. Making personal comparisons can be inappropriate and may not be helpful in building a professional relationship.
