(1) reviewing the patient for any family history of obesity,
(2) assessing the patient by checking body mass index and vital signs,
(3) encouraging the patient to self-explore by collecting information on lifestyle changes,
(4) instructing the patient to perform daily exercise and note the weight changes, and
(5) having the patient review the diet that should be followed after discharge to combat
obesity. The first phase of the nurse-patient relationship is the preinteraction phase, which occurs before meeting a patient. This phase involves reviewing available data, including the medical and nursing histories.
The second phase is the orientation phase, which involves assessing the health status of the patient such as body mass index and vital signs.
The third phase is the working phase, which involves problem solving and accomplishing goals. In this stage, the nurse would
encourage the patient to self-explore by collecting information on lifestyle changes. This is followed by instructing the patient to perform daily exercises and noting the weight changes. Both of these steps are involved in working phase. The fourth phase is the termination phase, which occurs before ending the relationship. This involves a brief review of the diet that should be followed after discharge to combat obesity.
"I should introduce myself by giving my name and title," "I will avoid referring to patients by diagnosis, room number, or other attributes," and "I should avoid terms such as 'honey,' 'dear,' or 'grandma' while addressing the patients." The nurse should introduce him- or herself by giving his or her name and status, such as nursing student, registered nurse (RN), or licensed practical nurse (LPN). It is important that the nurse avoid referring to patients by diagnosis, room number, or other attributes, because this approach would be demeaning to patients. The nurse should avoid terms of endearment while addressing patients, even with close nurse-patient relationships. Addressing patients by the last name is respectful in most cultures; nurses usually use a patient's last name in an initial interaction and then use the first name if the patient requests it. Using first names is appropriate for infants, young children, and patients who are confused or unconscious, as well as close team members.
Sets found in the same folder2) False reassurance
When a patient is seriously ill or distressed, the nurse may offer hope statements such as, "Don't worry, everything will be all right." This is known as false reassurance. Sympathy is concern, sorrow, or pity felt for another person. This is indicated by stating, "I'm so sorry about your condition." Giving personal opinions may be indicated by stating, "I think you should consider terminating treatment." "How would you describe your relationship with the doctor?" is an example of asking a personal question.

AIDET is a technique that is commonly used in hospitals today, and stands for Acknowledge, Introduce, Duration, Explain, and Thank you. The nurse first acknowledges the patient standing in front of him or her with a positive attitude and makes the patient feel comfortable. The nurse then introduces himself or herself, and lets the patient know what his or her role is in the department. In the third step the nurse should provide details to the patient or the family members about the duration of the procedure. This keeps the patient informed of any delays that may occur. Then explain how the procedure or test takes place and describe typical the patient experience with the procedure. The last step is to thank the patient for coming to the organization for care and let the patient know how much he or she enjoyed working with the patient.

In the consent zone, the nurse needs permission to touch patient`s mouth, wrists, and feet. In the social zone, the nurse does not need permission to touch the patient's hands, arms, or shoulders. In the intimate zone, great sensitivity is needed in the areas of genitalia and rectum. In the vulnerable zone, the nurse takes special care to handle the patient`s face, neck, and front of body.

Passive responses serve to avoid conflict or sidestep issues. They reflect feelings of sadness, depression, anxiety, powerlessness, helplessness, and hopelessness. Aggressive responses may indicate anger, frustration, and stress, and may provoke others. Assertive responses are a more professional approach, because the nurse needs to remain calm but face the problem with assertive communication.
