1. “If you need more information about what we have discussed, please let me know.”
2. “You might not get well if you do not follow my recommendations.”
3. “I will need to tell your physician the home is not safe enough.”
4. “I might not be able to continue my visits if you do not conform.”

1... When providing patient teaching, the nurse must be aware that not all recommendations considered important by the nurse will be held at the same priority by the patient. A failure to have the same goals does not mean the interaction is without merit. Telling the patient he might not recover might not be true. At no time should the patient feel threatened by the nurse’s responses. Implying that the visits will stop or that the physician will be called could be considered threatening.
