Care, autonomy and nurse education

Abstract:
Paternalism in medicine is giving way to consumerism. When doctors sneeze, nurses catch cold. Consumerism is having an equal affect on nursing. For example, patient autonomy is currently in vogue. A greater emphasis on the needs and wishes of patients is a much needed correction to the times when medical and nursing staff rode roughshod over those in their care. However, the danger is that we go too far and undermine the personal and professional integrity of nurses.
