Which of the following is the most important aspect for a student nurse to learn in relation to knowing the client?

b. Gathering assessment data
c. Treating discomforts quickly
d. Assuming emotional needs
A
Nurses must focus on building a caring relationship that allows them to learn what is important to their clients.
Gathering assessment data is not the most important aspect of knowing a client in relation to caring. Data gathering does not ensure that the nurse will be able to determine the client's per-ceptions and unique expectations. Success in knowing a client lies in the relationship that is es-tablished.
Treating discomforts quickly is not the most important aspect of knowing a client.
If the nurse is assuming the emotional needs of a client, then the nurse most likely lacks knowing of the client. It is more important to have a relationship in which the nurse can verify what emo-tional needs the client is experiencing. Knowing who clients are helps the nurse to select those caring approaches that are most appropriate to the client's needs.
