Nurse-Patient Relationships

There are many aspects of nursing that are important in the recovery and health of a patient. I believe one of the most important aspects is having a good nurse-client relationship. This means that the nurse and client have a good working relationship where the patient is comfortable being around the nurse and the nurse is easily able to promote health and recovery. This type of relationship is what helps the patient to develop trust towards the nurse. It also helps the health of a patient because the nurse is able to pick up on verbal and non verbal cues more easily. The patient will have a better health care experience if this kind of relationship is worked towards since they will have someone that they know cares for them and someone they can depend on. This kind of relationship should be worked towards by every health care professional to benefit each patient.
