Book excerpt: This book explores the factors that determine and influence the quality of care in clinical setting from the perspective of understanding the decision-making capacity of patients. It looks at the nurse’s relationship with the patient, including the implications of this relationship in nursing practice; the relationship of the nurse with the family; interprofessional relationships within the health team and their influence on the clinical practice of nurses; and the nurse's relationship with the health system and its influence on patient-family care. The volume will guide managers of health organizations to establish programs and policies that reduce the negative effects of current management on health teams. These changes will improve the quality of care, and increase the autonomy of patients in decision-making.
