Ati lpn fundamentals test ch 789 caole ( 41 Questions)

To enhance the establishment of rapport with a patient, the nurse should:



Correct Answer: C

A. Share information with the patient about other patients and why they are hospitalized. Sharing information about other patients violates confidentiality and does not help establish trust. This is unprofessional and goes against HIPAA guidelines.

 

B. Share his own personal experiences so that the patient gets to know him as a friend. Although occasional sharing of personal experiences may enhance rapport, extensive sharing can shift focus from the patient to the nurse, which is unprofessional and can create boundary issues.

 

C. Act in a trustworthy and reliable manner; respect the individuality of the patient. Acting in a trustworthy, reliable manner and respecting the patient's individuality establishes rapport by building trust, ensuring the patient feels valued and respected. This is the most professional approach.

 

D. Identify himself by name and title each time he introduces himself. Introducing oneself by name and title is essential, but it alone does not fully establish rapport. It is part of a courteous approach, but rapport-building requires deeper engagement.
