Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Model, the phase where the client assumes power in the relationship is known as the exploitation phase. This is the period during which the client has established a sense of trust with the nurse and feels comfortable expressing themselves and their needs. The nurse must be careful not to abuse this power dynamic and must still maintain professional boundaries.
