*The creation of trust in the therapeutic nurse-client relationship is the first step. Honesty, openness, caring, compassion, and respect are the building blocks of trust in this connection.
The client is also encouraged to openly communicate and ventilate their feelings, worries, discomfort, and anxieties after this basic trust has been built.
