    Study Notes

    Foundations: Module 1 - Evolution of Nursing

    • Nursing is a field of work that has been successfully professionalized, meeting ethical standards, and accepted by the public as possessing special knowledge and skills, widely recognized as a body of learning derived from research, education, and training at a high level. Professionals are prepared to apply this knowledge and exercise these skills in the interest of others.
    • The American Nurses Association (ANA) defines nursing (1980) as "the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual and potential health problems."
    • Nursing practice is individualized (ANA, 2010). Nurses establish partnerships with clients, and caring is central to the practice of registered nurses (RNs).
    • RNs use the nursing process to provide individualized care to clients (ANA, 2010).
    • A strong link exists between the professional work environment and the RN's ability to provide quality healthcare and achieve optimal outcomes.
    • Nursing (2015, ANA): is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.
