Which descriptors exemplify consistency regarding therapeutic nurse-patient relationships? (Select all that apply.)

A) Having the same nurse care for a patient on a daily basis
B) Encouraging a patient to share initial impressions of staff
C) Providing a schedule of daily activities to a patient
D) Setting a time for regular sessions with a patient
E) Offering solutions to a patient's problems

Consistency implies predictability. Having the same nurse see the patient daily, providing a daily schedule of patient activities, and setting a regular time for sessions help a patient to predict what will happen during each day and to develop a greater degree of security and comfort. Encouraging a patient to share initial impressions of staff and giving advice are not related to consistency and would not be considered a therapeutic intervention.
