When communicating with a client with a psychiatric diagnosis, the nurse uses silence. When silence is used in therapeutic communication, clients should feel;

1. It is the patients turn to talk.
2. The answer from a patient should not be in a hurry.
3. The nurse expects that further communication between him and the patient is not necessary.
4. The nurse is thinking about how to interact with the patient.
