Environment can be things like who you surround yourself with or what you do in your free time. It can also be the temperature in the place you live or what your socioeconomic status is. ]]> 2020-02-04 23:22:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pblaney/neeegc353omp/wish/440650887 pblaney https://padlet.com/pblaney/neeegc353omp/wish/440650919 Nursing is about the health of the person and making the patient's environment one that encourages health. Nursing and healthcare is a culmination of person, health, and environment. ]]> 2020-02-04 23:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pblaney/neeegc353omp/wish/440650919 pblaney https://padlet.com/pblaney/neeegc353omp/wish/442410366 Please open the PowerPoint to view my graphic, then read the next post for an explanation (my apologies for not being a good artist!).]]> 2020-02-07 20:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pblaney/neeegc353omp/wish/442410366 pblaney https://padlet.com/pblaney/neeegc353omp/wish/442420544 My theory of nursing is that nurses must use the environment and the people in the patient's lives to the advantage of the patient's care. The patient's care should be both psychological and physical because these are the main components to a patient's health. To encourage good mental and physical health, the nurse must nurture the patient. This could be by making the environment more conducive to healing, by removing friends and family from the patient's bedside if the patient states they are uncomfortable (be a patient advocate always), or as is often necessary, giving the patient medication to aid their healing (like a gardener laying down special soil to help the tree grow). In my eyes, the nurse will always be the nurturer and must use all aspects in the patient's life to bring them healing and growth.]]> 2020-02-07 21:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pblaney/neeegc353omp/wish/442420544
