Starved of attention

Article Abstract:

Nurses have an important role to play in the dietary needs of their patients, however ill they are. The most vulnerable patients, who are often terminally or mentally ill, require special care and nurses have an ethical duty to ensure that such patients are served with appropriate food and drink in a dignified and pleasant manner. Too often, such aspects of hospital care remain unrecognized, and patients' needs are ignored.

Envy causes many nurses to discourage personal ambition and initiative through lack of cooperation. However, the general reputation of nurses is enhanced through individual success. A change of attitude is necessary to ensure a future progressive environment.
