Why are long-term therapeutic relationships effective in healthcare? Select all that apply.

Long-term relationships help clinicians learn a patient’s history and preferences, so the patient feels known and valued. Continuity also keeps records and care information together, and familiarity can make patients more comfortable describing symptoms openly. Patients do not choose which medicine is prescribed, and memorizing medical jargon is not a benefit required for effective care.
