What is the philosophy of health care that encourages healthcare providers to be more comprehensive in their approach to patient care, including physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological attributes?
1. Holistic health
2. Nursing with a purpose
3. Complete health assessment
4. Contemporary alternative medicine
Correct Answer: 1
Holistic health is a concept that evolved in the 1970s and 1980s and is defined as "a comprehensive approach to health care including physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual attributes of a person." Nursing with a purpose is a goal of delivering nursing care but is not a philosophy of health care. A complete physical health assessment is often performed on patients at an initial health evaluation. Contemporary alternative medicine (CAM) is use of unconventional medicine or healing therapies.
