Caring is described as a way of providing care. Care can be provided both physically and emotionally. Nurses’ treat patients medically while at the same time connecting on an emotional level. Therapeutic touch becomes very important when giving care to the patient. A nurse must show a patient they care in order for the patient to open up. Nurses are the backbone to creating that comfortable and trusting environment for the patient. Nurses should begin by getting to know their patient, their lifestyle, employment history, family history, medical history, eating habits, and exercise habits. Using the therapeutic touch and developing that therapeutic relationship with a patient can only benefit the nurse and make the nurses job just a little less stressful and more rewarding.
