Nursing Annotated Bibliography
A nurse's job is difficult to classify. The nurse must be healer both of the body and of the mind. Usually, when a patient seeks medical treatment at a hospital or other such facility, they will see a nurse before they see a doctor. It is therefore the nurse's job to ascertain exactly what is going with the patient to the greatest extent before the patient is seen by a doctor. Very often, the interactions that a patient has with his or her niece will ultimately determine the success or failure of their medical treatment.
"To Heal Sometimes, To Comfort Always." Being Human: Readings from the President's

This article is important to nursing because the individual is tasked to protect human life no. Some are so overcome with fear that they turn angry. Others express their terror by becoming heavily attached to medical staff so that they feel less uncomfortable relying on that individual. The nurse must become whatever it is that the patient requires.
Wanzer, Melissa Bekelja (2004). "Perceptions of Health Care Providers' Communication:
Relationships Between Patient-Centered Communication and Satisfaction." Health Communication. 16:3. This article provides a link between how patients are treated and their satisfaction. Patients who are less satisfied will more than likely have recurrence of symptoms, according to the findings of this group.
In each interaction with patients, healthcare providers will be responsible not only for ensuring the continuation of life but also for assuring the quality of life of the patients. The outcomes of their care will have much to do with the way they are treated. Not only is it affected by the medical treatments that they receive but also the attitudes of those who are treating them.
