Question

Sumarize with reference The most meaningful connection I made between these philosophers and the development of nursing knowledge and practice is the idea of emphasizing holistic, comprehensive, and compassionate care. For example, Meleis (2017) states that the discipline of nursing includes but extends beyond mere scientific facts. Indeed, nurses implement evidence-based practices within the context of a patient's emotional, behavioral, social, spiritual, and environmental circumstances (i.e., nurses must consider the whole patient). According to Kim (2015), this holistic care is paramount to nursing's philosophies of care, therapy, and professional work. A nursing professional's goal to provide comprehensive, compassionate care must drive all aspects of the nursing profession, from developing the nurse-patient relationship to implementing clinical skills and ethical decision-making, while also examining a nurse's role and responsibility within the healthcare system.
