a newly diagnosed diabetic patient states "i have very definite likes and dislikes when it comes to food. am i going to have to eat only certain foods, or will i have some choice?" the nurse responds, "why don’t you give me a list of your likes and dislikes? i will consult with the dietitian about how to include your preferences and still come up with a good diet for you." what phase of the nurse-patient relationship is this?

I believe this would be the Working Phase in the nurse and patient relationship.

nope, but i have cleaned my brush in my cup of not as potentially harmful but nevertheless, very upsetting for scottish/british folks. especially if you've used the last teabag for it

there's a bit of bolshie-ness with it too though. i won't let go of the old ways . . tea and whisky . . whether the young whippersnappers like it or not!
