Florence Nightingale believed the patient's health was directly affected by the environment. Pro-viding the patient with clean linen daily would affect the patient's health in a positive way. Cleaning the patient's room only at discharge; keeping the door closed all day, preventing air-flow; and feeding the patient unhealthy food do not support Nightingale's theory.
