This is an honest statement that lets the client know exactly what the nurse is doing and helps to build trust in that the nurse is not making up excuses or making false promises. The nurse's statement that she is busy right now would make the client feel unimportant. The nurse would be making false promises if she were to say that she will be back in only a few minutes or even in 20 minutes because most likely, it will take more than this amount of time to finish giving out medications.
