. Theory of Caritataive Caring
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . . Overview
. . . . . . . • Caritative caring means that we take caritas into use
. . . . . . . when caring for the human being in health and
. . . . . . . suffering.
. . . . . . . • “Suffering that occurs as a result of a lack of caritative
. . . . . . .
care is a violation of human dignity.”
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
• Distinguishes between caring ethics, as the practical
. . . . . . . relationship between the patient and the nurse, and
. . . . . . . nursing ethics.
