Feedback:
Clients are generally expected to participate in their care in an active way. A passive and deferent demeanor is not encouraged, though cooperation and adherence to treatment are expected. Clients should not be made to feel guilty for requiring time and attention from care providers. Some clients are highly knowledgeable about their health problems, but this is not necessarily an expectation of all clients.
