Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the interview process, the nurse needs to demonstrate interest in the patient by leaning slightly toward him/her, allowing requested family or friends to accompany the patient, and closing the door to the room to ensure privacy. Typing intently when the patient is talking can be interpreted as lack of interest. Providing nonverbal cues to the nurse's negative thoughts (such as scowling when the patient mentions something negative) does not promote comfort or trust.
