B) The patient's developmental life stage
C) The patient's emotional context
D) The patient's conceptual integration of life

Ans: B, C, E
Feedback: It is the nurse's conceptual integration of the physiologic health condition within the emotional and social context, along with the patient's developmental life stage, that allows for the development of a holistic plan of nursing care. The patient's physical environment and his or her "conceptual integration of life" are not factors the nurse would take into account when creating a holistic plan of care.
