Assessment of the patient and gathering data are important components of the first prenatal visit.However,the nurse needs to use professional communication skills in order to elicit information from the patient about personal details of her life and potentially embarrassing information.Questions that show openness and acceptance are best.Stating that you can't believe this is the patient's first prenatal visit and the comment "now that you are finally here" are judgmental and will not help to establish a trusting relationship.
