1. Patients need and want structure during CC. 2. Respect for patients experiencing CC is demonstrated when caregivers involve patients in all levels of decision making. 3. Patients identified the behaviors of caring, health teaching, and role modeling as helpful to their recovery. 4. Patients have two primary resentments--a lack of privacy and continuity of care.
