Elicit information from the client.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the introductory (or orientation) phase of the nurse-client relationship, the primary goal is to establish trust and gather essential information about the client. Effective communication is vital in this phase, and the nurse should focus on understanding the client\u2019s needs, concerns, and background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eliciting information from the client<\/strong> is crucial in this phase for several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Building Rapport<\/strong>: By actively engaging the client in conversation and asking questions, the nurse fosters a sense of connection. This establishes a trusting relationship, allowing the client to feel more comfortable sharing personal information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Understanding Needs<\/strong>: The nurse needs to understand the client\u2019s health history, current concerns, and personal goals. By eliciting information, the nurse can assess the client&#8217;s physical, emotional, and social needs, which is vital for creating an effective care plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Facilitating Communication<\/strong>: Open-ended questions and reflective listening techniques should be employed to encourage the client to express themselves freely. This promotes a two-way dialogue, allowing the nurse to clarify and expand on the information shared.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Setting the Foundation for Future Phases<\/strong>: The information gathered during the orientation phase sets the groundwork for the working phase of the relationship. It guides the development of therapeutic goals and interventions tailored to the client&#8217;s specific needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, the other options provided are less appropriate for this initial phase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A. Review the client&#8217;s progress toward personal objectives<\/strong> (incorrect): This typically occurs in later phases when the client has established goals and progress can be measured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. Encourage the client to use self-exploration<\/strong> (incorrect): While self-exploration is valuable, it usually develops more in the working phase, where the client is ready to delve deeper into personal issues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. Talk with others who have information about the client<\/strong> (incorrect): This may breach confidentiality and trust. The focus should be on building a direct relationship with the client.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the orientation phase is about establishing a trusting rapport and collecting information, making option C the most appropriate choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nurse is caring for a client in the introductory (orientation) phase of the nurse-client relationship.
