Abstract
In a descriptive comparative survey study, nurse and patient perceptions differed regarding the practices of information giving, allowing decision making, and informed consent for nursing procedures during hospitalization. Nurses should consider giving patients more information about primary physical needs and activities related to nursing care (e.g., bowel/bladder needs, wound, and hygiene).
