Presenting the results of a research study undertaken with nurses who work with older people in hospitals, this book explores the meaning and importance of the concept of autonomy in the individual nurse?patient relationship. Invaluable reading for those concerned with the forthcoming National Service Framework for Older People, the introduction of nurse consultants and the weakening of role boundaries between health and social care.
