Abstract:
Delivering comprehensive nursing care has become more of a challenge in the current environment, which demands efficiency of effort and resources. To provide such care, nurses are encouraged to establish alliances with other providers. Physicians are certainly key to this model. This article identifies the gender issues that may impede nurse--physician communication and offers suggestions for improving it.
