When taking a history from a newly admitted patient, the nurse notices that he is pausing often and looking at the nurse expectantly. what would be the nurse’s best response to this behavior?

When taking a history from a newly admitted patient, in such a situation her response towards reaction of a patient must be totally tolerant, so the best thing a nurse can do is to be silent and allow him to continue when he is ready. Every patient is supposed to feel comfortable at medical house and if he or she feels mixed, medical staff shouldn't express negative and wait as long as it takes.
