Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The orientation phase ends with a therapeutic contract mutually defined by nurse and patient. The nurse enters the relationship in the "stranger" role and begins the process of developing trust by providing the patient with basic information about the nurse (e.g., name and professional status) and essential information about the purpose, nature, and time available for the relationship. It is therapeutic to provide the patient with basic and essential information. Providing information helps develop trust. Assuring the client the role of the nurse is to "make you better" is non-therapeutic since there is no guarantee that will occur.
