Note that ten points are attached to ‘Implications for Nursing Practice. In other words, what does the message of this chapter impact what nurses do?

The following are possibilities (you don’t need to address them all!). But think of things such as:

– the significance of the nurse’s self-awareness as they work with individuals/families?

– what patient/family teaching might be helpful?

– how might cultural differences be appreciated and respected?

– What might be a helpful way to respond to questions posed by the patient or family?

– how can the nurse approach physical pain?

– how can the nurse approach emotional distress?

Again, you do not need to reply to all of these questions as the chapters cover a wide range of
topics. These are ideas to help you get started.
