Abstract
Desirable as it is that nurses be in an optimal state of body and mind during their working hours, this cannot always be achieved. The nurse is as prone to headache, malaise, fatigue, apprehension and anger as the next person. Yet, being a professional worker, she needs to be aware of the effect any one of these conditions may have on her relationships with patients.
