Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Listening to the clients and identifying their healthcare needs shows that the nurse values their opinions and respects their autonomy. Patronizing clients or limiting their opportunities to express opinions would not show respect. Addressing the clients by their preferred name or last name is a matter of personal preference and cultural norms, but it does not necessarily indicate respect alone.
