Nurses and clients bond and move through predictable stages. The process of caring has purpose [growth], organization [interpersonal system], and creativity. Each stage must be successfully achieved before moving onto the next. Persons may enter the caring process anytime, and at any stage before stage 3 or 4. Self-revelation is threaded across the model but is expressed differently in each stage. Recognition & acknowledgement: introduction & orientation, affirmation of desire for relationship contact. Attentiveness/honesty: concern for the welfare of the vulnerable.
