The Nurses‘ Day began to be celebrated since May 12, 1954 in honor of Florence Nightingale‘s birthday. It has been defined by the International Nursing Council (ICN) as ―a profession that helps to protect and improve the health of the individual, the family, and the community, and provides support for the rehabilitation and recovery from the diseases‖. The key role of nursing in health services was highlighted in all International Health Promotion Conferences, especially in Alma-Ata, followed by those in Ottawa and Helsinki (2013) and also in the Commission Report of Social Determinants of World Health Organization. Nursing is one of the leading professions that has an indispensable role in the protection and improvement of human health. The significance of the profession arises from the fact that the nurses‘ work in a position where they help the most precious being in the world, i.e., individuals, in case of failure to meet basic needs themselves, protect and enable them to recover from illness, and so on. It is, therefore, imperative that nurses are trained thoroughly so that they are competent and capable enough to learn affective behaviors, cognitive, and technical skills in the provision of quality public nursing services. Today, nurses have been able to perform functions fulfilled by professionals such as doing research, theory development, being member of professional organizations, and taking part in political activities, as well as providing health care. Thus, the concepts of professionalism.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a “state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. ―All people free of disease are not equally healthy.‖ Views of health have broadened to include not only physical well-being, but also mental, social, and spiritual well-being and a focus on health at the family and community levels. Factors Influencing Health and Health Beliefs and Practices: Many factors influence a person's health beliefs and practices. Internal and external variables influence how a person thinks and acts. A. Internal factors 1. Developmental Stage (a child, adolescent, or adult). 2. Intellectual Background (shaped in part by the person's knowledge, lack of knowledge, or incorrect information about body functions and illnesses, educational background, traditions, and past experiences. These variables influence how a patient thinks about health). 3. Perception of Functioning: The way people perceive their physical functioning affects health beliefs and practices. When you assess a patient's level of health, gather subjective data about the way the patient perceives physical functioning such as level of fatigue, shortness of breath, or pain. Then obtain objective data about actual functioning such as blood pressure, height measurements, and lung sound assessment. This information allows you to more successfully plan and implement individualized approaches, such as self-care and mobility. 4. Emotional Factors: The patient's degree of stress, depression, or fear can influence health beliefs and practices. The manner in which a person handles stress throughout each phase of life influences the way he or she reacts to illness. Fundamental of Nursing 5. Spiritual Factors. B. External factors 1. Family Practices: The way that patients' families use health care services generally affects their health practices. Their perceptions of the seriousness of diseases and their history of preventive care behaviors (or lack of them) influence how patients think about health. 2. Psychosocial and Socioeconomic Factors. 3. Cultural Background: Cultural background influences beliefs, values, and customs. It influences the approach to the health care systems, personal health practices, and the nurse-patient relationship.  Wellness - Wellness can be defined as ―the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes”. - WHO defines wellness as “the optimal state of health of individuals and groups,” and wellness is expressed as ―a positive approach to living.‖ - The primary difference between health and wellness is that health is the goal and wellness is the active process of achieving it. Dimensions of Wellness:- 1. Physical:- The ability to carry out daily tasks, achieve fitness (e.g. pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal), maintain adequate nutrition and proper body fat, avoid abusing drugs and alcohol or using tobacco products, and generally to practice positive lifestyle habits. 2. Social:- The ability to interact successfully with people and within the environment. 3. Emotional:- The ability to manage stress and to express emotions appropriately, Emotional wellness involves the ability to recognize, accept, and express feelings. 4. Intellectual:- The ability to learn and use information effectively for personal, family, and career development 5. Spiritual:- The belief in some force (nature, science, religion, or a higher power) that serves to unite human beings and provide meaning and purpose of life. Fundamental of Nursing 6. Occupational:- The ability to achieve a balance between work and leisure time, A person's beliefs about education, employment, and home influence personal satisfaction and relationships with others. 7. Environmental:- The ability to promote health measures that improve the standard of living and quality of life in the community.  Illness and Disease  Illness defined as “a state in which a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social, developmental, or spiritual functioning is diminished or impaired”. Or “an unhealthy condition of body or mind‖. Illness is not synonymous with disease. Although nurses need to be familiar with different types of diseases and their treatments, they often are concerned more with illness, which may include disease but also includes the effects on functioning and well-being in all dimensions.  Disease: defined as ―A particular distinctive process in the body with a specific cause and characteristic symptoms‖. Risk factors of Disease & Illness: 1. Genetic and physiological factors 2. Age 3. Environment 4. Lifestyle Types of illness Items Acute illness Chronic illness Onset Sudden, rapid onset Gradual , up and down onset Cause Usually one Many Duration Short duration < 4 weeks Long duration > 6 months Changes Reversible Irreversible Intensity Severe Fluctuated from mild to severe effect Effect Potentially life-threatening.

Fundamental of Nursing Body Temperature Introduction Vital signs are measures of various physiological status, in order to assess the most basic body functions. When these values are not zero, they indicate that a person is alive. All of these vital signs can be observed, measured, and monitored. This will enable the assessment of the level at which an individual functioning. Normal ranges of measurements of vital signs change with age and medical condition. Vital signs are useful in detecting or monitoring medical problems. Vital signs can be measured in a medical setting, at home, at the site of a medical emergency, or elsewhere. Vital Signs Are measurements of the body's most basic functions: 1. Body temperature (Temp). 2. Pulse / heart rate (HR). 3. Respiration/ respiratory rate (RR). 4. Blood pressure (BP). Purpose:-  To obtain base line data about the patient condition.  For diagnostic purpose.  For therapeutic purpose.  To evaluate patient condition. When to Assess Vital Signs 1. Upon admission to any healthcare agency. 2. Based on agency institutional policy and procedures (for example in agency vital signs routinely measured in ICU hourly and in ward measured every 6 hour may be more or less according patient condition). 3. Any time there is a change in the patient‘s condition. Fundamental of Nursing 4. Before and after surgical or invasive diagnostic procedures. 5. Before and after activity that may increase risk. 6. Before and after administering medications that affect cardiovascular or respiratory functioning. Body Temperature Definition of Body Temperature Body temperature is the balance between the heat production due to chemical activities by the body and heat lost from the body through radiation, conduction, convection, and vaporization (evaporation) to environment. Types of body temperature: 1. Core temperature: Is the temperature of deep tissues of the body, e.g., cranium, thorax and abdominal cavity. It remains relatively constant (37Cº or 98.6 Fº). True core temperature readings can only be measured by invasive means, such as placing a temperature probe into the esophagus, pulmonary artery or urinary bladder. Non-invasive sites such as the rectum, oral cavity, axilla, temporal artery (forehead) and external auditory canal are accessible and are believed to provide the best estimation of the core temperature. 2. Surface temperature: Is the temperature of the skin, the subcutaneous tissue and fat. It, by contrast rises and falls in response to the environmental changes.
