Abstract
One of the most valued ways in which nurses provide care for their clients is by promoting comfort. this encompasses more than simply assessing and managing pain. It enables people to gain rest, reduce anxiety and stress, and cope with or reduce discomfort and pain. Recipients of expert nursing care often describe how the way a nurse listened to them, care for them or paid attention to the seemingly little things such as making a bed or providing a cup of tea helped them to cope with or recover from an uncomfortable time in their lives.
