There have to be limits on bowing to patient's convenience
Article Abstract:
An opinion is presented mainly about the abortion pill, which raises a fundamental question for the nurses who presumably are involved in administering the pill as to how far are they prepared to go in the name of patient's convenience and whether it is really based on the need for the health service to save money wherever possible and no matter what the cost in human terms. It is believed that nurses have a responsibility in this and it is not enough to say that patient choice is the priority.
