Definition of Nursing King states nursing is “A process of human interaction between nurse and client whereby each perceives the other in the situations and, through communication, they set goals, explore means, and agree on means to achieve goals and their actions indicate movement toward goal achievement. A Process of action, reaction, interaction, and transaction.” (Meleis, 2012)

In family practice, we are constantly trying to reach goals with our patients, whether it is to achieve an A1C below 6%, maintain a blood pressure within normal limits, or achieving a goal weight. On a daily basis, almost every patient we see in family practice is trying to reach a goal and maintain the outcome of that goal and it is our job to help him or her get there. It is our job as nurses to not only help them get here, but also to develop a relationship that will continue to help them maintain their goals. These relationships that are developed create a sense of trust from the patient and therefore allows them to allow us as nurses to care for
