| Abstract: | This paper considers the meaning of consent for nursing. Consent had traditionally been looked at in relation to the medical profession. The paper argues for patient advocacy and discusses issues of competency and advocacy and implications for practice. The paper then goes on to critique the process of concept analysis and suggests ways of proceeding with this vital development for nursing. |
