Abstract
Nurses are different from other health care professional because of
their approach to patient care, training and scope of practice. Nursing
practice is the actual provision of nursing care. In health care settings
when nurses are practicing, they use scientic, psychological and
technological knowledge. Nurses may help coordinate the patient care
performed by other members of a multidisciplinary health care team
1
such as therapists, medical practitioners, and dietitians. Therefore they
are viewed as multidimentional health worker.This aspect expects the
nurse to provide comprehensive care by implementing advanced
skills, technology to promote health,to prevent diseases. To acquire the
competencies, skills, nurses has to learn many things in clinical setting
also, because somewhere they lack to utilize theoretical knowledge in
their practice.
