holding such views, it is critical that the individual nurse self-reflects on

personal feelings and determines whether such feelings will affect the nursing

presence of chronic illness, disease, and impairment. The nurse should always

determine the patient’s sense of wellness and independence when conducting a YFT L YFT L YFT L YFT L L
