Answer 1: It is morally wrong for a Hospice nurse to do anything of the sort. Although it may seem sweet and harmless at the time it can be also be damaging to the patient; because it is not their place to show that type of affection to them. Hospice nurses jobs are purely to help the patient live comfortably in the process of death. Many nurses seem to cross the moral line and be overly affectionate towards their patients and show their affection in inappropriate ways i.e. Hugging or Kissing even if it is on the forehead it is inappropriate.

Answer 2:

I suppose this depends on the situation around it rather than the actual act of "kissing".

Close contact such as a kiss is a common gesture in many countries world wide.

A kiss with a sexual undertone would not be considered appropriate. A kiss may and can however mean so much more. A child bonding to a nurse may rest easier feeling the love of a friendly kiss goodnight.

Many examples of a kiss given by a nurse can be found quite appropriate and more an act of true caring for people rather than anything else.

We must remember that a patients "need" might be more than just of bodily healing and recovery. Easing of mind and taking away bad dreams surely does no harm.

A problem is always that people may interpreet a good careing nurse to be something else, and a nurse may exploit a situation.

I just do not feel that it is right to make all nurses bad that does this.

well i think a kiss on the cheek is appropriate at 6th grade....maybe closed mouth at 8th grade and french at 9th........thats just my opinion, hope i helped Answer: I had my first kiss at 13, the older I got the more guys wanted to kiss me, but doesn't mean I let them. My first kiss wasn't a kiss on the cheek or a peck, it was like mouth open, toungue.....all that! I liked it, but kind of regreted not being more patient to wait for someone I really liked. So be patient and wait until you really like the person, don't rush into anything and practice always helps with that first kiss .

What is the difference between hospital services and hospice services for elderly patients?

A "hospital" is a place where people go to get some medical treatment when they are sick or injured. Most major cities have several hospitals. When you go to a hospital, you generally hope to come back alive. When you go to a 'hospice', on the other hand, you go with no such hope. One generally goes to a hospice knowing he/she is going to die. A hospice is a special hospital where people who are terminally ill get admitted. These people have no hope of being cured. So, unlike a hospital, a hospice not only takes care of the medical needs of a patient, but also looks after his emotional needs. The focus here is on keeping people as comfortable as possible - both physically and emotionally. By the way, the final "pice" in 'hospice' rhymes with the words "miss" and "kiss". The final 'e' is silent and the main stress is on the first syllable. Here are a few examples.


When my boyfriend would not kiss me did I do the right thing by breaking up with him?

I think you should respect his wishes as you would want him to respect yours. Perhaps breaking up is a bit of an overreaction and had you have been patient with him and kept the relationship going he may have reached the point where he thought it was appropriate to kiss. Now you will likely never know.

Is it appropriate to kiss?
