Abstract

This article presents a reflective account of a consultation in a pre-assessment clinic for women requesting abortion. The reflectionis based on Johns’ model. Reflection enabled the author to address important issues that the consultation raised. These included the realisation that nurses do not always have to understand why patients make the choices they do, and the importance of allocating sufficient time for sensitive consultations.
