During the initial phase of the nurse-client relationship, establishing rapport and developing treatment goals are the priority. This phase sets the tone for the rest of the relationship and helps to establish trust and mutual respect between the nurse and client. Acknowledging the client's actions and generating alternative behaviors, attempting to find alternative placement for the client, and exploring how thoughts and feelings may impact care are all important, but they are not the priority during this phase.
