Trust is developed when the nurse spends quality time with the client to improve his/her health and wellness. The nurse’s past experiences show the client how professional she/he is by showing specialized nursing skills and making sure the client is in a comfortable setting where he/she can express more details about the illness. Also, the nurse creates this framework of honesty that earns the client’s trust by following through with care and keeping commitments.
