The best way to establish rapport with a patient is to communicate clearly and respectfully with them, explaining what needs to be done and how you plan to do it. This helps the patient feel more at ease and more willing to cooperate with the imaging professional during the immobilization exercise. The use of restraints should also be explained, but it should be done so in a gentle and reassuring way. Pulling out immobilization tools or asking for multiple technologists to come into the room may actually make the patient feel more anxious, which could negatively impact the success of the exercise.
