Nurse-Client Relationship
This term refers to the bond of mutual understanding and respect between the nurse and the client.
Rapport
A nurse consistently shows up on time, listens actively, and follows through with promises made to the patient.
Trust
In this phase, the therapeutic alliance is actively operationalized as the nurse and client collaborate to address health concerns through planned interventions and shared decision-making.
Working Phase
A nurse assesses the patient's emotional readiness to engage in treatment, collaborating with each other and modifies the care plan based on ongoing observations and the patient's verbal and non-verbal cues.
Working Phase
This aspect of the nurse-client relationship involves protecting the client’s private information.
Confidentiality
The nurse encourages the patient not to lose confidence and says, “You’ve come this far, and we’ll keep going together.”
Hope
Representing the culmination of the nurse-client partnership, this phase involves the evaluation of outcomes and emotional disengagement as the client transitions toward independence.
Resolution Phase
At the onset of the nurse-patient relationship, a nurse meets and attempt to create a safe space for the patient by acknowledging their current needs, concerns, and expectations without making assumptions.

Prior to a scheduled interaction with a patient suffering from a chronic condition, a nurse examines patient history, reflects on their own responses to similar cases, and considers how to approach the situation without preconceived biases.
Pre-Interaction Phase
This is the ultimate purpose of the nurse-client relationship that involves including the client in decisions about their health.
Involving the client in decision-making regarding their plan of care
A nurse understands that a patient is feeling anxious and scared, and they adjust their tone and words to comfort the patient without being told.
