Clinical bedside nurses provide patients direct care for up to 12 hours per day. Hospitalized patients have specific self-care deficits which nurses provide. Patients may lack specific knowledge, technical skill, physical or mental abilities. Depending on the acuity of the patients illness or injury a nurse may deliver care to one or more patients. In settings with critically ill patients more than one nurse may be needed. The care delivered can result in intimate knowledge or contact with patients. Patients have rights and cannot be forced to receive unwanted care. Nurses must be able to provide an (often unspoken) assurance to patients that this level of intimacy will not be abused. This is mostly understood and accomplished through the Nurses attitude of caring.
