Well-Being Demonstrate Respect And Are Important Parts Of Advocacy. The On-Coming Nurse Needs To
Take Action To Ensure That Others Are Not Prejudiced Against The Patient. Humor Can Be Appropriate
Within The Privacy Of A Shift Report But Not At The Expense Of Respect For Patients. Judging The Off-Going
Nurse In A Critical Way Will Create Conflict. Nurses Must Show Compassion For Each Other.
