What intervention during the termination phase of a nurse-client relationship may lead to confusion for the client?

Introducing new issues to the client during the termination phase of the nurse-client relationship can create confusion for the client because this phase is primarily focused on summarizing the progress made and preparing the client for independence. The termination phase is meant to reinforce the skills and insights gained during the relationship, allowing the client to recognize their personal growth and plan for future challenges. Introducing new topics or issues can divert attention away from these important reflections, potentially leaving the client feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about their progress and the closure of the therapeutic relationship. It is essential at this stage to provide a sense of closure and clarity, which new issues can disrupt.
