Qualities of professional caring is presented in chapter nine as a way to shed insight on the various ways human care from the ontical perspective. “Onticology is the study of some entity in its actual relation with other entities” (Roach, 2013, p. 165).

It’s compassion that pushes us to care for our patients and others. It’s a powerful human response that has the power to reveal certain things in ourselves and in others. Compassion involves a simple, unpretentious presence to each other, it’s a gift that we seem to have lost even though we have developed sophisticated techniques in our efforts to acquire it (Roach, 2013, p. 171). Compassion can be shown through our actions and words, and also when we care for others when they need us the most. In order for a nurse to grow their compassion, they must understand what it is.

They can verbalize to the patient and their family that they are available to help with anything that they might need. The nurse can also make sure that the patient is aware that they will be the best advocate they can be for them, and that they will tell them the truth regarding anything related to their health. The nurse should also keep in mind that the more confident they are, the more confident their patient will be
