When a patient verbalizes his complaints,
You have to listen.
When a patient is crying and dying,
Comfort his feelings.
When a patient refuses his medicines,
Provide sound decision making.
When a patient wants to be alone,
Respect his privacy.
When a patient is at risk of falling,
Ensure his safety first.
When a patient is hard to understand,
Be a friend to him.
It's not always easy to be a nurse.
You have to protect patient's bill of rights.
