Try and describe what you understand by holistic nursing. Do you agree with such an approach towards nursing assessment and nursing care delivery? Why?
holistic nursing is seeing your patient as a whole person with psychological and spiritual and physical needs. holistic nursing is not necessarily something you do but most of the time it comes from attitude and a way of being. so I think yes it is important to be assessed as from this you can know who really is ready to become a good nurse for the future patients.
It is an approach to medical care that emphasises the study of all aspects of a person's health, including physical, psychological, social, economic, and cultural factors. I think it is important to be assessed since we are talking on others life. Life is precious and we have to avoid mistakes which put others in risk.
Both seem to support the idea of taking a holistic approach to nursing care delivery.....but ...one may argue that until a few decades ago.....care delivery was focused almost exclusively on the physical aspect......and kind of life went on......so....why is there so much emphasis on holistic as opposed to the traditional emphasis on the physical aspect of care in modern health care scenarios?
I wonder how the rest of the students would respond to this arguement. I look forward to seeing more students participate in this discussion
