    Accepting patients\u2019 needs for self-expression and seeking to teach skills that will contribute to
    their well-being demonstrate respect and are important parts of advocacy. The on-coming
    nurse needs to take action to ensure that others are not prejaubidrbi.cceomd\/taegstainst the patient. Humor
    can be appropriate within the privacy of a shift report but not at the expense of respect for
    patients. Judging the off-going nurse in a critical way will create conflict. Nurses must show

      Attending is a technique that demonstrates the nurse\u2019s commitment to the relationship and
      reduces feelings of isolation. This technique shows respect for the patient and demonstrates
      caring. Generalizations, probing, and false reassurances are nontherapeutic.
