Rationale: Making sure the environment is nonjudgmental and nonthreatening is important to make the client feel more comfortable sharing private information. Strict privacy should be maintained, and the client might prefer to exclude other family members or friends from the conversation to allow full disclosure. The nurse should not act like a friend, but should maintain professionalism. Medical terminology might not be understood by the client, and should be avoided. The amount of eye contact to use in a given situation depends on the culture and comfort level of the client.
