Much emphasis has been placed on the importance of nurses' articulating what they do to counteract the invisibility of nursing practice. Yet there has been minimal focus on why nurses are silent. This article explores the link between technical and caring discourses and nurses' silence and suggests an alternative discourse that conceptualizes nursing as a knowledge-driven enterprise that shifts the focus from what nurses do to what nurses know by promoting nurses' practice knowledge as a language for articulating their practice.

Mental health nursing is dependent on nurses' ability to engage in therapeutic relationships with patients. The ability to manage professional boundaries is equally important, but less explored. This study aims to address the following research questions: How do nurses define their professional, personal, and private roles? What are nurses' experiences with professional boundaries? What are the implications of nurses' understanding of these boundaries? Nurse-patient relationships are characterized by asymmetrical power dynamics, which places the responsibility of delineating professional boundaries on the nurse.

Introduction And Objective: Considering the complexity of medical discourse, the enormous amount of information, including fake news, it becomes increasingly challenging to develop health literacy among the general population and to ensure efficient communication of scientific findings on the effects of health interventions to various types of recipients. We aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of how the various types of audiences perceive various formats for presenting data from Cochrane systematic reviews (SRs).
Material And Methods: We conducted focus group interviews with university employees, students, pharmacists, patients, caregivers, physicians, and nurses.

Article Synopsis
- - Nurses play a vital role in shaping health policy to ensure equitable access to palliative care for those with life-limiting illnesses, as outlined in a critical analysis of British Columbia's Palliative Care Benefits (BCPCB) program.
- - The study uses Fairclough's Dialectical-Relational Critical Discourse Analysis to examine how the BCPCB establishes criteria for residents' eligibility and access to palliative care resources based on their needs and illness burden.
- - Findings reveal that the BCPCB's eligibility criteria are vague and discriminatory, suggesting that palliative care nurses could significantly influence and improve the program and its practices.

In this paper, we bring together Foucault's biography and oeuvre to explore key concepts that support the analysis of nurses' acts of resistance. Foucault reflected on the power relations taking place in health services, making his contribution especially useful for the analysis of resistance in this context. Over three decades, he proposed a nonnormative philosophy while concomitantly engaging in transgressive practices guided by values such as human rights and social justice.
