INTRODUCTION

Initial attempts to communicate the intention to help and the

nature of the assistance that can be extended to the clients are vital
to success in the use of the health process. The Community Health
Nurse (CHN) must first establish good working relationships with
his/her clients before he/she can gain their cooperation in educating
them on the health process.

Basic to this kind of relationship is an attitude of trust and

confidence on the integrity and capabilities of each partner to improve
client’s health status. Developing and nurturing this type of
relationship becomes the foundation for all subsequent health
actions.

DIRECTIONS:

Assess level of accomplishment in establishing a good working

relationship with each client family by truthfully filling up the required form.
