THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF NURSING


REFLECTION
         
          As a freshman, I have erudite about the different conduct of the theorists in how they render care with their patients based on their research or theory.

          In my own view, nursing is not just a course; it is also a practice of art in caring individuals; a skill whom you have the ability to help the clients identify their existing health condition by persuading in them the fact and not the bluff information to their well-being; an ability of social intelligence as of to create a harmonious nurse-to- patient- relationship bond; It is a gift which is bestowed in you because not all people has the talent to take care of people due to lack of patience. The TFN (Theoretical Foundations of Nursing) allow us students to develop and strengthen the theoretical knowledge base from which we achieve practice, advance our skills of critical thinking, and analysis for the principle of achieving brilliance in the practice of nursing. The nurse’s role is to supply care for client in many settings and situations in which holistic nursing interventions are provided to promote comfort. Comfort is a notion central to the art of nursing. Comfort is the individual’s basic need in order to achieve wellness. And according to Betty Nueman’s Theory “The system model in Nursing Practice       “she explained that the state of wellness exist when all the part or system of person works harmoniously. Holistic comfort theory are all the theorists basis on their researches which provides a support for guiding nurses as they assess, plan, offer and evaluate care for patients while viewing them as a whole which interacts and adapts with their environment.

          I have learned that a nurse is not a doctor’s assistant—well in my grade school years nurses were viewed as the doctor’s assistant but then again I agree that they are not. Nurse nowadays defined as a profession within the health care sector alert on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may achieve, preserve, or recover optimal health and quality of life.
