Under-Involvement
◦ Under involvement can include distancing, disinterest, and neglect, and be damaging
to both the patient and the nurse (NCSBN, 2014)
◦ When the nurse abandons the patient, there is a lack of care, which in turn, may be
able to increase health risks for the patient.
➢For example, ignoring the patient during two-hourly bed turns could cause bedsores
on the patient’s body or paying no attention to the patient’s strict diet could cause
food allergies.
➢Disregarding the patient is harmful to their health and may also be damaging to the
nurse.
