    • This change is linked to evolving nursing models, moving from traditional frameworks towards a consumer-centric approach.
    • Nurses are increasingly adopting advocacy roles for those receiving care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically evaluate the appropriateness of current terminology and models in nursing.
    • To explore the implications of the shift from "patient" to "client" in healthcare settings.
    • To consider the evolving role of nurses as advocates.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of nursing models and their historical context.
  • Discussion of the ethical and practical implications of role changes in nursing.

    • Main Results:

    • The adoption of "client" and "consumer" models in nursing is a recent trend.
    • These models are perceived by some as representing a shift from older, military-style nursing frameworks.
    • Nurses' roles are expanding to include significant advocacy responsibilities.

    Conclusions:

    • The terms "client" and "consumer" may not fully capture the nuances of the nurse-individual relationship.
    • Existing models, including the consumer and advocacy models, may be inadequate for defining the nursing profession.
    • A re-evaluation of terminology and professional models is necessary for contemporary nursing practice.
