It is a very serious concern as patients arenow complaining about the services by the nurses which can lead to certain legal issues whichcan affect the reputation of the organization. The relationship between a patient and a nurse arise when a nurse accepts the responsibility toprovide the nursing care which is based on oral and written reports of the needs of patient. Whenthis responsibility is transferred to another nurse, this relationship comes to an end. The nursestoday are not fulfilling their obligations and are not performing duties assigned to take care of thepatient. A nurse must report to doctors if any kind of unhygienic and unsafe treatment isperformed to the patient ("What Nurses Should Know about Patient Care Abandonment...”2017). Also, the basic responsibilities of a nurse include reporting and identifying the problemsof staff, health protection, rights and safety of the patients, refusing the assignment for patentcare based on safety concerns of a patient, safeguarding the safety and integrity of herself,practicing with proper safety and skills.
