Nurses are constantly monitoring and with patients the most; thus, it is important that nurses are compassionate, attentively listen to patient’s concerns, and acknowledge their worries in order advance forward with their disease.

The interaction between the nurse and patient can form a friendship of mutual trust and faith from the responsibilities nurses have during the care of the patients. By having a client-nurse relationship, it enables the nurse to make a full assessment on the unique needs that the patient may need.

There is clear evidence to support this statement as shown by the king’s fund which is an independent charity which relies all their information on research and analysis from patients to healthcare workers. The information the kings fund collects is either taking from discussions or questionnaires that will build a report to the evidence suggested. A therapeutic relationship between patients is fundamental to their care that they receive and one main aspect of this is building trust between you and your patient. As confidentiality plays a big part in nursing, ensuring a patient that any information that they give will only be passed on to staff members and other multi-disciplinary teams that will be directly involved in their care and treatment and by following guidelines set out by the Data Protection Act 1998 is creating the patients trust in you as a professional nurse. A therapeutic relationship should always be built on taking a holistic approach when supporting patients and delivering a person centred care.…
