nurse-patient relationship

The nurse-patient relationship is a professional bond built on trust, respect, and effective communication. It involves the nurse caring for the patient’s physical, emotional, and psychological needs while respecting their dignity and privacy. This relationship helps the patient feel safe, supported, and involved in their own care. Good communication and empathy are key, allowing the nurse to understand the patient’s concerns and collaborate on health decisions. Ultimately, it promotes healing, comfort, and better health outcomes through a partnership based on mutual respect and trust.
