After termination of a long-term relationship,the patient and new nurse usually have to begin at ground zero,the orientation phase,to build a new relationship.If termination is successfully completed,the orientation phase sometimes progresses quickly to the working phase.Other times,even after successful termination,the orientation phase may be prolonged.
