Therapeutic Nursing Relationship about Trust Concept Student Name Institutional Affiliation Course Code Instructor Date The nurse-patient relationship is key to the delivery of quality care. For any successful or fruitful healthcare outcome, there is need for a healthy relationship between the nurse and the patient. While not really a must, it is just essential to establish practices that promote this, for any healthcare institution.
