what is the priority when the nurse is establishing a therapeutic environment for a client
Nurse–client relationship Nurses are expected to always act in the best interests of the patient to maintain a relationship that is strictly with all intent to only benefit the client.[4] The nurse must ensure that their clientâ€™s needs are met while being professional.[4] Extensive research and clinical observation has shown that the body, mind and emotions are in unity. Therefore, in order to help another person, one must consider all these aspects; this means not neglecting the person and strictly just treating the illness. Caring for patients is beyond the treatment of disease and disability.[8]
Palliative care Palliative care[1] is a multidisciplinary approach to specialized medical and nursing care for people with life-limiting illnesses. It focuses on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, physical stress, and mental stress of a terminal diagnosis. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the person and their family.[2][3] Evidence as of 2016 supports pallative care's efficacy in the improvement of a patient's quality of life.[4]
