The nurse's action demonstrates trust, as the client may be hesitant or wary of the admission interview, but the nurse provides comfort and assurance before engaging in a therapeutic relationship. Sympathy could be inferred as well, but the primary focus is on building a sense of trust with the client. Veracity (truthfulness) and manipulation are not applicable to the scenario.
