A working goal for the nurse–client relationship is to achieve:
1. Facilitative intimacy.
2. Self-disclosure.
3. Interdependence.
4. Social superficiality.
1
Rationale: When the nurse–client relationship achieves facilitative intimacy, the relationship moves from the social realm to addressing meaningful areas of concern for the client. Social superficiality usually occurs at the beginning of a relationship. Self-disclosure occurs when the individuals share information about themselves. Social relationships are characterized by interdependence; in the nurse–client relationship, the desire is to move the client toward independence.
