Building trust is especially critical to developing a therapeutic relationship with an anxious client. Being available and attentive to the client's requirements contributes to this trust. The nurse should not leave an anxious client alone, especially during a new or potentially frightening experience. To manage an anxious client's restricted attention and concentration, directions or explanations must be simple, brief, and repeated frequently to implement adjusting teaching.
