Explanation:

Establishing a therapeutic relationship starts with creating a sense of safety and normalcy. Orienting the client to the unit schedule helps them feel more comfortable and in control, which is foundational for building trust and a therapeutic connection. Assisting with goals (A) comes later in the relationship-building process. Reviewing mental health history (C) is part of assessment but not the first step in relationship - building. Maintaining a safe milieu (D) is a general nursing responsibility but not the first action specifically for developing a therapeutic relationship.
