What about getting “on their [the patients’] level?”
I (oncology certified RN) was once chastised in my earlier years of being a nurse for being too cheery by an older patient receiving end-of-life care. I learned that day to read the room and be empathetic instead of overly upbeat.
Perhaps different patients (in different stages of their cancer, even) require different types of emotions to be shown by their care providers?
