I understand your point, but to exercise judgment IS the definition of judgemental. We often use it as "casting a MORAL judgement." Although casting moral judgement is also a correct definition of...
I treat all of my pts with respect and care for them equally. That being said, obesity, unless the pt has a tumor growing out of control, has something else going on. Unless these pts operate on a...
I did not forget. I highlighted the parts that reinforced the spirit of what I was trying to say. "We need new parameters for caring for diseases that originate in the mind (choices) versus diseases...
Well, if I may....I am a new grad; and so, I do not have that much experience in nursing; however, I am a reader. I believe many posters have only read the top part of the OP's post. First, the OP has...
