1. Nursing- the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and

alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of
human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families,
groups, communities, and populations
2. Who is the central focus of nursing care? The patient
3. What is the difference between the medical model and the nursing
care model?
1. “The traditional approach to the diagnosis and treatment of
illness as practiced by physicians in the Western world since
the time of Koch and Pasteur.
2. The physician focuses on the defect, or dysfunction, within
the patient, using a problem-solving approach. The medical
history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests provide
the basis for the identification and treatment of a specific
illness. The medical model is thus focused on the physical
and biologic aspects of specific diseases and conditions.”
3. The nursing model focuses on patient’s mental, emotional,
and physical needs and could be expressed as immediate care
leading into long term effects. "It is a mental or diagrammatic
representation of care, which is systematically constructed,
and which assists practitioners in organizing their
thinking about what they do, and in the transfer of their
thinking into practice for the benefit of the patient and the
profession (McKenna, 1994)". Essentially, the nursing model
accounts for the whole patient, not just the disease or
condition requiring treatment. It allows nurses to deliver care
to patients using a systematic approach of assessing,
planning, implementing and evaluating patient care - this is a
1
, cyclic nursing process with detailed guidance for each step of
care.
4. Nursing care models focus on a patient-orientated approach.
