- xiii, 351p.
Examines approaches that can be used in the nursing practice by nurses to develop good interpersonal skills, which they can exercise in their response to patients. Describes how nurses can view their patients not as people who they instruct on what actions to take, but as people with personal experiences in health and illness issues. The need to develop effective relationships with colleagues at work is discussed.
