8. The word “NURSE“
originated from the Latin
word “NUTRIX” meaning
“TO NOURISH”.
Nurse assumes a number
of roles when they
provide care to client.The
roles required at a
specific time depend on
the needs of the client
and aspects of the
particular environment.

9. According to Virginia
Henderson, ”The unique function
of the nurse is to assist the
individual, sick, or well, in the
performance of those activities
contributing to health or its recovery
(or to peaceful death) that he would
perform unaided if he had the
necessary strength, will or knowledge,
and to do this in such a way as to
help him gain independence
as rapidly as possible".

10. The comprehensive care of adult patient not only
involves the care of nurse towards the patient but
also the participation of patient and family is
important for improvement of the patient towards
his potential and well being.

“Technology has the potential to bring the patient
closer to the nurse by enhancing the nurses’ ability
to know more about the person. Conversely,
technology, can also increase the gap between the
nurse and client as exhibited by the conscious
disregard of the patient as person, and ignorance
of the nursing imperative to know the patient as
person.”
