Martin's father advocated his own version of ethical practice based on trust, respect, professional intimacy, empathy, and equal power in providing care to Martin ( CRNBC, 2006). Martin's father preserved Martin's dignity, promoted justice for Martin, and promoted Martin's health and well-being (CNA, 2008). The way Martin's father supported these ethical practices was to be responsible for Martin's care every day (CAN, 2008). Martin's father created a positive environment for care, which allowed Martin not to feel embarrassed or aware of the care Martin received (CAN, 2008). What Martin's father believes in is social justice for Martin's health and well-being, the maintenance of human values, and the right for Martin to experience a meaningful life. (Snellman and Gedda, 2012). Some other beliefs held by Martin's father are those that support the elimination of social inequalities for Martin (CNA, 2008). The role of caregiver can greatly improve the life of a sick person if they provide excellent care. The caregiver, for example Martin's father, was an excellent caregiver to Martin, allowing him to feel equal and confident in the competent care that Martin's father was providing him. If a caregiver provides terrible care to a patient, the illness experience can cause trauma and further complications for the person
