Feedback:
The benefits of self-care for gerontological nurses can be realized in higher quality interactions and relationships both with patients and the nurse's friends and family and the improved ability to demonstrate integrity. The goal and outcomes of self-care do directly address the knowledge base related to nursing practice and it is simplistic to state that self-care involves minimizing one's own needs in order to meet patients' needs.
