Who took Florence Nightingale ideas and made them into a coherent theory?
Answer: As per Florence nightingale, nature alone heals. This idea has been taken up by Greek philosophers (including Aristotle) to put the patients in natural environmental condition for a natural cure. This coherent theory has to be adopted by practising nurses. This has to be adopted by nurses as well. There is always interaction between the body and the environment. The patient environment is important for care. The most important environment is pure water, pure air, efficient drainage, cleanliness, noiselessness and sufficient light. Food is an essential component for the patient health recovery and nurses should ensure proper nutrient to the patients. Psychosocial condition of the patient is important for its overall health and should be monitored from time to time by the nurses. The proper social environment is important for the patient cure and that should be provided by the nurse.
