Each of these principles directly relates to the need for a naturopath to collect in-depth information from patients in the initial consultation. The role of a naturopath is to support each patient in their journey toward better health by identifying obstacles to recovery and removing any disturbing factors to allow the Vis Medicatrix Naturae to restore vitalism. The more information gathered in the initial consultation the easier it is to identify the possible underlying causes of a patient’s ill health. This enables the naturopath to make the correct recommendations for healthier lifestyle habits to give the body the right environment and conditions to restore homeostasis. The principle Primum Non Nocere teaches the use of the least invasive methods necessary to allow the body to heal itself.
Nightingale’s approach was patient-centered care; she viewed the person as multidimensional with intellect made up of "biological, psychological, social, and spiritual components” (Current, 2012). Nightingale viewed all people equally and wanted to help the masses that were suffering. She believed nursing was a service to God and that nursing care aided in maintaining or restoring patients through the alteration of a patient’s environment (Alligood, 2010, p. 99). Florence Nightingale’s nursing theory began laying the groundwork for subsequent nursing theorists. One theorist who followed in her footsteps and adopted her philosophy regarding nurse caring behaviors is Jean Watson.
I had forgotten about the other types of learning and communication methods, and I settled into what is comfortable for me.

I am now ready to consider and implement different ways to communicate. This is describing to the nurse in detailed manner what the picture is, by auditory instruction. In the” Making Assignments” portion of the reading I discovered that I have learned these skills while not being aware of the process or terms describing them.

I believe that providing the best possible care for each patient should be the primary concern of nursing. In doing so, the environment is crucial in the meeting the needs of the patient. Central concepts of nursing are “person, environment, health, and nursing” ( Masters, 2014, p.48).Careful consideration must be given in educating the patient about the illness. In early years, the responsibility fell upon the physician. In recent years, the responsibility has been transferred to the nurse to manage the patient’s environment in order to promote the patient’s recovery.
I will remind myself every day why I became a nurse and aspire to make my patients my number one priority. Functional Differences As licensed professionals, it is our duty to protect the public’s health and welfare by assuring that we provide safe and competent nursing care.

This includes making sure the patients environment is clean and sanitary, just how Nightingale would have wanted. Nightingales theory of environment also focused on creating a peaceful environment to heal in.

However, this change will only be temporary. One of the major changes I need to do is to manage my time wisely. When I made the decision of going back to school, I was conscious about the things I needed to give up to make time for school.
