• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A stay in hospital is a traumatic experience for most patients; however, some patients may be more difficult than others to care for, because of mental distress and ill health, historic substance abuse, demanding family members or abusive behavior, for example. "Difficult" patients place extra demands on nurses professionally and personally. Developing the skills required to deal with difficult patients is therefore vital to the smooth running of any hospital ward.
