Document Summary
A therapeutic relationship is the relationship between a carer and client (nurse and patient etc). This relationship is used to promote the health and wellbeing of the client. Therapeutic relationships are crucial to the healthcare system, if there are quality therapeutic relationships there will be quality healthcare. Good communication is important in these relationships as it is key to avoiding mistakes. The nursing process is a five-part systemic decision-making method. It focuses on identifying and treating the responses of patients to actual or potential conditions. The five parts of the nursing method are: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementing plan and evaluation. This process can easily be remembered using the acronym adpie . There are many different aspects of critical thinking, reflection is one of them and means to evaluate what could have been done better and what was done well in a certain situation.
