Nursing Practice

Nursing practice is an interdisciplinary field that incorporates the comprehensive knowledge, skills, and values of nursing to assist individuals, families, and communities in the promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health. Nursing practice focuses on the individual, assisting them to reach their highest level of health and well-being through one-on-one patient care, education, and health promotion. Nursing interventions may include developing and implementing a plan of care, providing physical and emotional support, and advocating for the patient's health and well-being. Nursing practice also plays an important role in the health care system in both preventative and emergency situations. Nursing practice is an essential component of health care that ensures quality care and patient safety.
