Florence Nightingale’s Legacy of Caring

Paper details: The PowerPoint attached shows my professor’s expectations for this APA Style (7th edition) paper. Before beginning, read and review assigned readings. The purpose of this paper is to explain the relationships between theory, research, and evidence-based practice using Florence Nightingale and her Environmental Theory. Her Environmental Theory changed the face of nursing to create sanitary conditions for patients receiving care. Her work was instrumental for developing modern nursing practice with much of our care practices directly reflecting her theory.

Read the case study (below) and answer the questions that follow. Write your answers in a 3-page narrative using level 1 headings include a title page, abstract page, and reference page. The community health nurse knocked softly before entering Isabel’s bedroom. On this home visit, Isabel was holding her three-week-old baby girl, Pearl, while two-year-old Jerry was sitting on the floor playing with a cat. In one corner, a full litter box sat on the floor next to the changing table. The nurse noted two half-empty, 4-oz formula bottles on the changing table, an empty box of baby wipes, and three soiled cloth diapers.

Looking into Pearl’s sleeping face, Isabel said, “She finally fell asleep. . . I am so tired— Jerry, stop teasing Freckles [the cat] and come over here and hold Pearl while I get something to drink— Do you want something to drink?” The nurse quickly scanned the room and saw an unmade bed with a bassinet wedged against the wall. Jerry’s bed, also unmade, was in the corner opposite the litter box. The small bedroom was stifling hot, the ceiling fan was not on, and the windows were closed. A table in the middle of the room had plates with partially-eaten sandwiches and half-finished cans of soda. Based on this case study answer the questions to explain the purpose of your paper:

Florence Nightingale’s Legacy of Caring

1. How would the nurse practicing from Nightingale’s theory begin her home visit? 2. What would be the priority for the nurse in this situation? How might Nightingale’s understanding of sanitation and environment guide the nurse in her home visit? 3. How could the nurse develop a relationship with Isabel and return as a welcomed visitor in Isabel’s home? Tasks: Write a 3-page narrative (3-page maximum – 5-point deduction for over/under page limit as submitted in Turnitin) in 7th edition APA formatting including a title page, abstract page, and a reference page.
