The caregiver, helps a patient and their family set goals and plans of action, and meet them in a minimal amount of time. If the nurse was to do her work in a mechanical fashion, the public would obviously feel that the health care system is cold and calculating, since the nursing profession is a big part of the health care system. The trust would be gone, and the public would feel like they were just number. However with a nurse taking the caregiver role, he or she demonstrates to the public that they are not just numbers, but they are individuals with different needs and attitudes. .
With caregiving, being a client's advocate is a very important role that a nurse assumes. According to Tyson (1999), "advocacy is the act of informing and supporting individuals so they can make the best decisions possible for themselves-, (p.64). Nurses frequently encounter clients that feel powerless, vulnerable to assert their own rights. A nurse who takes the role of advocate, must promote a climate in which the individuals, groups, families or a population can act in their own interest, and this includes having access to resources and intervenes when they are unable to act in their own interests. The role of client advocate is there to protect the rights of clients. The Registered Nurses Association of British Columbia (2000), states "Nurses have an obligation to serve and protect the public. They advocate in the public interest for causes that will promote the health and well-being of society-. Also a nurse is obligated to act on their knowledge when a client's best interest may be in danger as a result of unsafe practice or professional misconduct by nurses or other health care providers. If the nurse did not assume this role of advocacy, the health care system would have many more loop-holes and quality of care would be in jeopardy. There are three major components to being a client advocate; protector, mediator, and actor.
