Nurses do not always see the patient in a doctor's office or a hospital patient room. The nurse might encounter patients in the following environments, according to Craig: a) in an accident scene or an emergency room; b) in a general hospital ward; c) in "department areas"; d) in "primary care centres"; e) in healthcare clinics; and f) in the patient's home (Craig, 42).
