The patient's dignity and the right to his private life should be respected during nursing care, as well as his culture and values. The ethics on caring is based on respecting the patient's suffering and on being sensitive to his pain. A conceptual model for the nursing practice identifies the essential elements of practice, theory and the nursing values. Nursing is exercised with the person, in a full dialectic interaction.
