Nursing Foundation
Nursing foundations include knowing basic medical ideas such as the roles of specialists and the ethical principles that a practicing assistant should have. It also assists in identifying patients and understanding how to handle particular client circumstances. The history of nursing helps us understand the evolution of the discipline, how it has changed over time, and the difficulties that have affected the field of support over time. Regulations, autonomy, education, and defining nursing practice are examples of such difficulties. Acquiring this knowledge allows us to appreciate the changes and efforts done to evolve this career.
Historical Timelines
Several historical timelines have been assigned to the nursing profession. The three trends that have been identified in this practice from ‘Nursing Timeline of Historical Events’ media piece include formal education development, improved care advocacy, and the establishment of the duties and roles of the different classes of assistants. The development of formal education programs has led to a large number of people joining the profession with many institutions offering nursing as a study course. The definition of the roles of the different assistance levels helps each person who is trained as a nurse to understand their functions while the advocacy on improved care has helped lower mortality rates with more people receiving medical care.
