Contemporary Nursing Practice
Nursing began as an art as the practice solely relied on trial and error and prioritized the
comfort of the patient more than their safety and health promotion. Due to the lack of innovation
prior to the 1800s, the standards of nursing were almost nonexistent. However, as wars and
revolutions created history, they changed the scope of practice for nurses as the world of
medicine began to evolve. The application of theory allowed for nursing to take on a more

Nightingale implemented allowed her to minimize mortality rate from 42.7% to 2.2% in only a
period of 6 months (Whitney, 2018). This was not only the introduction to Nightingales
Environmental Theory but it also contributed to the perception of a nurse as a professional and
supported the significance of evidence based practice as she proved that her interventions could
minimize deaths from infection through research (Whitney, 2018). Years after Florence
Nightingale revolutionized nursing, more standards began to arise and organizations such as
American Nurses Association (ANA) began to regulate nursing. This brought upon the nursing
code of ethics, standards of practice, quality and safety education for nurses, and most
importantly the nursing process. The expansion of the scope of practice ensures that nurses
providecaring, compassionate, nonjudgmental, evidence based care which overall results in
