Which of the following statements best summarizes Wald and Brewster's approach to home nursing?
a. "All services all the time"
b. "Helping people to help themselves"
c. "One person, one family, at a time"
d. "Your home or ours"
ANS: B
The nursing service adopted the philosophy of meeting health needs of aggregates including social, economic, and environmental determinants of health. This aggregate approach empowered people of the community. A later director summarized their role as "one of helping people to help themselves." Because they were empowering others, the other statements do not fit this philosophy.
