Rationale: Although it is true that in the context of her time Nightingale emphasized the physical environment, she did have an impact on psychiatric–mental health nursing. Nightingale was among the first to note that the influence of nurses on their clients goes beyond physical care and has psychological and social components; hence, the value of making her famous evening rounds to say goodnight. Nightingale focused her ideas on both direct client care and nursing education. Hildegard Peplau is credited with theory related to the therapeutic nurse–client relationship.
