We are delivering medication, treatment, or performing procedures that help keep patients comfortable and, in some cases, save their lives. We must keep a clear head when this is going on. We expect this when we enter the field. What we do not expect, however, is to have to reassess how spiritual, moral, and philosophical worldviews in an effort to understand how we fit in to the nursing practice. We ...

Health and medical conditions should not be generalized because patients present different conditions (Facchiano, and Charlene 4).
