Nurses play a critical role in addressing denial by:
1. Building Trust: Establishing a trusting relationship with patients can help them feel more comfortable accepting their condition. 2. Providing Education: Educating patients about their illness and treatment options can reduce fear and misunderstandings. 3. Emotional Support: Offering emotional support and counseling can help patients cope with their diagnosis. 4. Encouraging Open Communication: Creating an environment where patients feel free to express their fears and concerns can facilitate acceptance.
