Showing the client the unit may be overwhelming and not address the immediate need for communication and building rapport.
Explaining the nurse's role helps establish trust and provides the client with information about who is present and their purpose.
Reading the client his/her rights is important but may be premature and not as immediately relevant as establishing communication.
Offering medication should come after establishing communication and assessing the client's needs, as not all clients may require or be ready for medication.
