A clinical situation of unusual cardiac pain

In conclusion, I believe that nurses have a unique opportunity to help patients cope with pain. Much research is already available to guide us in clinical application. Now we must generate more specific nursing research to provide the scientific rationale needed for our nursing actions. I am convinced that there are reasonable explanations for nursing actions that many of us have found so successful but so difficult to explain or teach to others. As nursing research helps us to explain these phenomena, our teaching and practice of nursing will surely improve.
