Nurses can identify resistance through various signs, such as:
- Non-Adherence to Medication: Patients may skip doses or refuse to take their medication. - Missed Appointments: Regularly missing or canceling appointments is a common indicator. - Body Language: Negative body language, such as crossed arms or lack of eye contact, can signify resistance. - Verbal Cues: Statements expressing doubt, fear, or non-commitment to treatment plans.
