A
Anger is an emotional response to a situation either real or perceived which nurses and other health care professionals may encounter on a fairly regular basis. Several methods for dealing with anger exist, but some of these may have unanticipated or potential drawbacks. Three of these methods are: 1) denying and repressing anger (may cause resentment); 2) expressing anger (may lead to defensiveness on the part of the respondent); and 3) turning the other cheek (may contribute to continued mistreatment and a lack of trust).
