Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Being available and attentive to the client's needs, such as listening actively, acknowledging their feelings, and providing a safe and non-judgmental environment, can contribute to building trust in a client with anxiety disorder. Asking the client to suggest methods could potentially worsen their anxiety as they may not have the cognitive capacity to provide alternatives or may feel overwhelmed with decision-making. Determining the client's level of comprehension is important but does not necessarily contribute to building trust. Leaving the client alone when agitated can increase their anxiety and create distrust in the nurse-client relationship.
