Patient Education In The Emergency Department, Bryan K. Devinney
Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects

This can leave little time for patient education, especially if the nurse does not feel like the patient education is meaningful or useful.

Student nurses need to develop self-awareness of their attitudes and anxieties toward death, loss, and grief; modify negative attitudes; and develop a repertoire of interpersonal skills to support persons experiencing grief.
