Abstract
Satisfactory relationships between physicians and nurses are of vital importance to effective patient care. In fact, physician-nurse relationships even have been related to numbers of patient injuries in the hospital. Understanding the etiology of physician-nurse communication patterns and having a working knowledge of strategies to utilize when a "difficult" physician is encountered can facilitate physician-nurse communication. Positive communication can promote the development of healthy physician-nurse relationships.
