Question

Is the F.N Environmental theory relevant socially and cross-culturally? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: The environmental theory developed by Florence Nightingale in the second half of the nineteenth century in England, has focused primarily on the environment, interpreted as all external conditions and influences that affect the life and development of an organism, that are able to prevent, suppress or contribute to disease and death, The disease is considered, in this theory, a restoring health process and the nurse's function is to balance the environment, in order to save the patient's life energy to recover from the disease, prioritizing the delivery of an stimulating environment for the development of the patient's health.
