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

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.
