Answer: My primary nursing goal in caring for this adolescence is to develop trust by building a rapport environment between us.

Step-by-step explanation: This is because good rapport helps to establish harmonious relationship with patients especially teenagers and adolescence which enables a health care worker understand how his or her patient feels and communicate effectively with them thereby improving health care.

The ways in which health care workers especially nurses can build rapport are by Maintaining Eye Contact , Showing Empathy, Creating Communication Active Listening and Keeping to Your Word .

-By doing all these, a health worker will be able to get any teenager to respond truthfully in terms of their feelings and fears because such teenager believes he or she can rely on you, and this will generally improve the health care system.
