The nurse's primary goal of the preinteraction phase should be to explore self-perceptions. The nurse should be aware of how any preconceptions may affect his or her ability to care for individual clients. Another goal of the preinteraction phase is to obtain available client information.

ANS: A
The nurse should expect that the client would gain insight and incorporate alternative behaviors during the working phase of the nurseclient relationship. The client may also overcome resistance, problem-solve, and continually evaluate progress toward goals.
