Two notions of vulnerability dominate in the nursing literature. In one model, vulnerability is equated with susceptibility to particular harmful agents, conditions, or events at particular times and is considered something to be avoided or resisted. Another view regards vulnerability as the ever-present, common condition of all sentient beings and a condition of nurses' access to understanding patients' experiences. This article uses data from an ethnographic study conducted in two hospital emergency departments to illustrate tensions between these two stances toward vulnerability as they are reflected in emergency nurses' narratives.
在护理文献中，有两种关于脆弱性的观念占据主导地位。在一种模式中，脆弱性等同于在特定时间对特定有害因素、状况或事件的易感性，被视为需要避免或抵御的东西。另一种观点则将脆弱性视为所有有感知能力的生物始终存在的普遍状况，也是护士理解患者经历的一种条件。本文利用在两个医院急诊科进行的一项人种学研究的数据，来说明这两种对待脆弱性的立场之间的紧张关系，这些紧张关系反映在急诊护士的叙述中。
