Abstract
The nurse and all the medical care team are responsible for the healing and the curing process. In that regard, there are different suggestions about the way to deal with excellence and quality in the interaction between the medical care personal, the patient and his family at the primary level of attention. To that end, ethics and bioethics are analyzed from the standpoint in which it is important to differentiate if the means of taking care are more important than the ways of taking care of the patients in the recovering process. With the purpose of making some suggestions on the topic, a thorough analysis based on the theoretical contributions of García and Kieffer is portrait. This aims at putting aside some real life examples of what patients, the patient's family and the medical care team deal with on a daily basis.
