From the supplier: Presence is a vital yet poorly defined concept in nursing. It has been described as both the physical presence of the nurse and as the nurse's metaphysical impact. It is possible to identify four ways of being there: presence, partial presence, full presence and transcendent presence. Each has implications for the focus of the nurse's energy, the nature of the nurse-patient interaction and possible nursing outcomes.
