dedicated to care of the sick and later in the home by female caregivers with no formal

There, Florence Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing introduced the world to the functional roles
of professional nursing and the need for formal education.

disciplines and emphasizes its unique functional characteristics. The four key concepts that
form the foundation for all nursing theories are
a. caring, compassion, health promotion, and education.
b. respect, integrity, honesty, and advocacy.
c. person, environment, health, and nursing.
d. nursing, teaching, caring, and health promotion.

5. When admitting a client to the medical-surgical unit, the nurse asks the client about cultural
issues. The nurse is demonstrating use of the concept of
a. person.
b. environment.
c. health.
d. nursing.
ANS: B
The concept of environment includes all cultural, developmental, and social determinants that
influence a client’s health perceptions and behavior. A person is defined as the recipient of
nursing care, having unique bio-psycho-social and spiritual dimensions. The word health
derives from the word whole. Health is a multidimensional concept, having physical,
psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual characteristics. The World Health
Organization (WHO, 1946) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, social
well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Nursing includes the promotion of
health, prevention of illness, and the care of ill, disabled, and dying people.

construct is represented in this situation?
