During an interaction between a nurse and client, the nurse conveys respect and an attitude that shows the nurse takes the client's opinions seriously by:
1. Leaning toward the client.
2. Facilitating and taking action.
3. Maintaining social distance.
4. Being concrete about actions to take.
1. Leaning toward the client.
Rationale:
The nurse best conveys physical attending by leaning toward the client which conveys involvement. Facilitating and taking action do not denote that the nurse is conveying physical attendance. Maintaining social distance does not convey physical attending. Being concrete is a method of communicating needed information to the client.
