Paper Summary:

This paper describes and defines holistic care of patients. The writer claims that the provision of suitable nursing care is not possible if the patient is not viewed in a holistic and complete manner. The writer explains that the holistic care of a patient involves the care of the whole person. The writer further points out that even though nurses do often tend to provide what they believe is holistic nursing care, they also tend to forget the spiritual dimension.

From the Paper:

"It is impossible to provide adequate nursing care if the patient is not viewed holistically. Holistic care refers to care for the whole person. According to the CNO, among the core competencies for the nurse who is performing assessment, she "considers the psychosocial, emotional, ethnic, cultural and spiritual dimensions of health". "
