Taking one's time to answer questions may be a sign of respect and indicate that the patient is giving the question serious consideration.Sitting at eye level with a patient can convey equality even when the patient does not look into the nurse's eyes or face.Getting too close to the face,however,is considered threatening.Pointing at the patient is considered rude or threatening by many people.Using your own anatomy for demonstration is more acceptable.Many cultures consider the left hand to be dirty and people may be offended if they or their belongings are touched with the left hand or if anything is offered using the left hand.A patient's belongings should not be touched or moved until the patient gives permission to do so.
