In my experience in conducting the above procedures inside a clinic, the first thing that I had to ensure was a prepared clinical environment with ready documentation and equipment for interview.
The implications that this holds for nursing are multiple. First of all, it indicates the importance of nurses evaluating the coping style and level of anxiety of patients on an individual basis.

“Grand theories as the most abstract of the three identified levels, attempt to create a view of the whole of nursing” (Peterson & Bredow, 2008, p.29). The theorist’s observations and insights contribute to the theory’s approach to the nature, mission and goals of nursing care.

The desirability of smoking and the cultural norm differs substantially from one country to the next. In many developing countries the rise of smoking prevalence is very rapid, with seven million deaths annually predicted in the developing world by 2030.
