Rationale
Ensuring comfortable seating at eye level establishes a non-intimidating environment. Setting the room temperature at a comfortable level ensures physical comfort. Removing distracting objects minimizes potential distractions. Facing a strong light may cause discomfort. A distance of 7 ft is too great for effective communication. Placing a chair across from the nurse's desk creates a formal, potentially intimidating setting.
