Feedback:
Florence Nightingale believed that nursing was to put the client in the best condition for nature to act on him. According to her, the nurse should spend time caring for the clients rather than keeping the environment clean. The nurse can also teach the client about general care and precautions to be taken; this helps minimize the risk of problems in the future.
