Which dimension would the nurse most likely focus on if assessing the patient from primarily a 19th century perspective?
1. Spiritual
2. Physical
3. Social
4. Emotional
Answer: 2
Explanation: Until the early to mid-20th century, psychiatric nurses attended primarily to the physical needs of the clients and did not pursue interpersonal work with them. Psychiatric nursing care during this period emphasized a physical environment. More holistic care (including emotional-social-spiritual dimensions) is a product of more recent history.
