Discussion about the concept caring as coercion


Assignment task:

Read the following scenario & answer the prompts.

In addition, his blood pressure is elevated at 152/96 mm Hg, and his fasting blood glucose is 410 mg/dL. The RN knows that the patient must receive his medications or risk serious medical concerns, including possible death.
