“…The relevance and significance of finding the essential “name” or “label” of the participant in a nursing encounter can be likened to Thorne ( 2022 )’s argument regarding the pronunciation of persons’ names. She emphatically described mispronouncing people’s names as illustrating nurses’ incompetence in knowing how to call people by their names in a way that reflects a commitment to their integrity as persons.…”

The debate regarding the variation of names used for labeling the patient in a nursing care situation has always existed in nursing. Names such as patient, client, person, and nursed have been used widely among healthcare disciplines, including nursing. However, does the use of any of these identifying terms establish the appropriate identification of the nurse and the persons being nursed in a nursing care situation participating in a mutual relationship? This editorial aims to address the varieties and rationales of identifying persons participating in or receiving nursing care. Among these terms, “person” describing human beings underscores personhood, allowing nurse-nursed relations to foster, support, celebrate, and affirm living the meaning of what matters most to one’s life. Therefore, it will be advantageous to nursing practice if the term “person being nursed” is the relevant descriptor to be considered as the primary label.
