Professional Nursing Paper Homework: The 4 Domains of Nursing
o What is your central belief about the individual person? What makes up a person, who they are and how they got to where they are?
o What constitutes the environment? Does it include elements both external and internal? Give examples. Find out what internal/external environments are and how the person interacts with them. A good source for this information is Chitty and Black "Professional Nursing Concepts and Challenges" 6th edition, or Google search should give you direction on this
o How do the individual and the environment interact? Think about how you view health. Your Finkelman textbook mentioned above will give you a basic understanding but you will need to expand upon this.
o What is your view of health? What is health and how is illness related to health? Is health a continuum with absolutes at either end, is it a dichotomy: either good or bad? Is it a state that includes illness? Note that disease and illness is not the same thing. One can have a disease and not be ill, and one can be ill and not have a disease.
o What is the central reason for the existence of nursing? Why are we, as nurses, here? Don't think of this as a task based definition. Why do you get up every day and go to work? How do we do what we do every day?
Spend a little bit of time thinking about the questions provided and you will do fine!
Don't look for a "right" answer, this is your personal philosophy/thought.
