Nurses and Technology: Maintaining a Balance Between Intervention and Nurturing for Childbearing Women
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 March 2009
Abstract
Invasive and noninvasive medical technology are employed frequently in the health care of women, particularly childbearing women, often without any demonstrable benefit. Nurses are in a position to be advocates for their childbearing patients and to define and implement a realistic balance between supportive or facilitative caring and technical interventions.
