1. Based from the report, what are the sigifi!at !otri"#tios

'eriod of (t#iti$e N#rsig)Medie$a* 'eriod

In this era, nursing was purely based on instinct or gut feeling. There is no

formal education or training. The human nature being compassionate

fuelled the urged in helping others. Care is primarily evident through

experience and observation. I can tell this is the trial and error period

which contributed immensely to our existing medical and nursing processes

and procedures in terms of identifying toxic against edible plants,

herbal/medicinal plants among others. ince all ideas are basically

primitive, beliefs to super natural beings were also entertained and hence

the birth of faith.

'eriod of Appreti!e N#rsig)Midd*e Ages

!ursing was led by the Catholic faith. This is when religious nursing

orders sprung and hospitals were built as Catholics was more engaged in

crusades and holy wars. This is also the lowest point of nursing in history.

I can say the "ar# $ge of !ursing. !ursing became the wor# of the least

desirable of women % prostitutes, alcoholics, prisoners etc. $s

&rotestantism rose, many hospitals and schools were closed. !urses fled

their lives and soon there was shortage of people to care for the sic#. 'n

the contrary, this is also the conception of establishment of the ( stformal

training for nurses where &astor Theodore )liedner and his wife,

)rederi#a established the *aisserswerth Institute for the training of

"eaconesses in +ermany.

The development of nursing during this period was strongly influenced by

trends resulting from wars Crimean, civil war-, arousal of social

consciousness, and increased educational opportunities offered to

women. !ursing evolved as an art and science and formal nursing

education and nursing service begun. The !ightingale Training chool of

!urses opened at t. Thomas ospital in ondon. It was the (stschool of

nursing that provided both theory0based #nowledge and clinical s#ill

building. !ightingale focus vision of nursing !ightingale system was more

on developing the profession within hospitals. he believed that nursesshould be taught in hospitals associated with medical schools and that the

curriculum should include both theory and practice.

'eriod of Cotemporar% N#rsig)-thCet#r%

This is where !ursing achieved the milestone as a profession. icensure

examination for aspiring nurses has become a standard in addition to

development of baccalaureate and advance degree programs.

peciali1ation of hospital and diagnosis has given birth to expanded roleof nurses in different fields. !urses begun to undergo training programs

and nursing became more involved in community health. !urses also

adapted the use of sophisticated e2uipment for diagnosis and therapy

and computers were utili1ed0data collection, teaching, diagnosis,

inventory, payrolls, record #eeping, and billing.

I would consider the 0'ersoas the most important. The person being

composed of physical, intellectual, biochemical and psychological needs-

has the ability to ta#e control over his environ, health, and performance of

nursing care. 3ithout the person, no one will ta#e over or be responsible in

relation to the other aspects/concepts. The person having the intellectual

capacity can manipulate the other aspects in cogni1ant with what is

deemed to important, valuable, and necessary.
