Why is it important for a nursing student/nurse to be aware of a patient's strengths?
It is important for a nursing student/nurse to be aware of a patient's strengths in order to help individuals/families use their strengths to cope with life challenges, promote healing, achieve their goals, and get the most out of living. Nurses need to know the individual’s and family’s strengths to be able to support them during health and illness, and in times of suffering, recovery, and healing.
What are the three sources of strengths that nurses consider?
The three sources of strengths that nurses consider are existing strengths, potential strengths (which can be developed into a strength), and deficits that can be turned into strengths.
What is the role of a nurse in working with a patient's strengths?
The role of a nurse in working with a patient's strengths involves identifying the person and family’s strengths, determining which strengths could be helpful in the situation to help the person/family meet their goal, and assessing which strengths are available and which strengths can be developed.

Study Notes
Nursing Education and Sensory System Development
- In a family with five children, one teenage son becomes skilled at assisting his father with home dialysis, seeing himself as an important caregiver and resource to the family.
- Nurses can turn deficits into strengths by understanding why they exist, reframing behavior, and helping individuals gain insight into their behavior.
- "Educating Nurses" by Benner et al. emphasizes the need for student nurses to acquire broad knowledge, skills, clinical reasoning, and ethical comportment.
- Becoming a nurse involves integrating the nurse role into one's identity and learning through experiential and situated learning.
- Nursing is described as situational and contextual, requiring consideration of the uniqueness of the person, situation, and context.
- "Formation" refers to the learning and educational experiences involved in learning to nurse, including retraining the senses and reforming social engagement skills.
- Nurses need to develop observational skills, attunement to sounds, smells, touch, and the ability to grasp situations for effective clinical reasoning.
- There are five traditional senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) and three additional senses for nursing (auditory, olfactory, somatosensory) and three "inner" senses (visual, awareness of internal bodily sensations, awareness of awareness).
- Nurses make sense of information through their senses and base clinical decisions on their understanding of the situation.
- The auditory system involves hearing and sound, including crying, yelling, moaning, and equipment beeping.
- The visual system involves sight and images, including urine, stool, breath, wound discharge, and vaginal discharge.
- The olfactory system involves awareness of smells and odors, and awareness of internal bodily sensations includes reflections on physical sensations and attention to mental aspects.
