A question of choice
Article Abstract:
Nursing Development Units at John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford and Whitney, England have introduced client participation in care decisions. Client choice has been extended through nurse/ client partnerships. The regime aims to empower clients to control their lives as far as possible. Nurses provide information to assist decision making and minimise risks. Emphasis is on patients' perceptions of illness rather than the illness itself.
