When developing a therapeutic nurse-client relationship, building trust with the client is begun in:

A. the exploitation subphase: The exploitation subphase occurs later in the therapeutic relationship when the client begins to use the relationship for their benefit, not the initial stage of building trust. B. the resolution phase: The resolution phase is the final stage of the therapeutic relationship when the client’s issues are resolved and the relationship is ending. Trust-building occurs earlier. C. the orientation phase: This is correct. The orientation phase is the initial stage of the nurse-client relationship where trust is established, and the foundation for future interactions is built. D. the problem identification subphase: The problem identification subphase involves recognizing and clarifying the client's issues. Trust-building occurs earlier in the orientation phase
