...FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE'S CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF NURSING Wendy Davis GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY NRS 430V Melissa Britt May 4, 2016 FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE'S CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF NURSING Florence Nightingale conceptualized disease as a reparative process and described the nurse’s role as manipulating the environment to facilitate and encourage this process. Her directions regarding ventilation, warmth, light, diet cleanliness, variety and noise are discussed in her classic textbook (Notes on Nursing), first published in London in 1859 and in America in 1860. Brief Overview The environment is critical to health and the nurse’s role in caring for the sick is to provide a clean, quiet, peaceful environment to promote healing. Nightingale’s intent was to describe nursing and provide guidelines for nursing education. Person Nightingale focused on the person as “the recipient of nursing care” (Selanders,2010). However, the person connection also includes family members and other groups important to the individual. The care structure considers the patient’s spiritual and social needs as well as healthcare needs. The resulting health outcome is attributed to how the person interacts with these physical and social connections. The premise is that the person is empowered to manage his health and well-being with dignity and self-preservation with positive personal connections. Today in nursing we have incorporated the concept of patient and family centered care. Thereby including, if the...

...Canadian Confederation entails the process through which the Canada emerged in 1867 when three colonies under Britain formed the four provinces Canada. During the emergence of Canada in 1867, several factors played vital roles in its formation and these factors include political, economic and social factors and other forces and actors. The National Policy was introduced by John Macdonald in the year 1879 and it entailed the implementation of high tariffs on the manufactured imported products so as to safeguard and protect manufacturing industries in Canada. The National Policy was also very crucial in the development of the rural Prairie West as cattle ranching activities were introduced in the region. The paper will discuss the factors that led to the emergence of Canada, analyse the National Policy and its significance for the development of the rural Prairie West. Political, Economic and Social factors, actors and forces that were instrumental in the emergence of Canada in 1867 Several factors played a significant role in the emergence of Canada in 1867. These factors include political, economic and social factors in combination to other forces and actors. The political factors played a considerable role in the emergence of Canada because by the mid 1860s, the Great Britain had almost lost its concern for the colonies it controlled in North America and particularly Canada. The loss in interest was mainly because these colonies had become a huge monetary, military and political...

...Gonzalez 1 Rachel Gonzalez AP U.S. History Mr. Cranston 20 March 2015 Chapters 12 and 13 Essay Assignment Major themes of history evolve as time progresses. From the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, massive shifts occur. Regarding work, exchange, and technology; America in the World; politics and power; as well as ideas, beliefs, and culture, the evolution between the centuries have changed the significant themes throughout the United States. Work, exchange, and technology play a huge role in Americans lives throughout each century. People rarely used money; services and products were paid for mostly through trades and barters. Home and work were not separated; they were the same place. Nobody stuck to a schedule; things were done as needed. Skills were acquired through apprenticeship. An apprenticeship lasted from three to seven years. Apprentices lived with their masters during this time period, while trading knowledge for labor. However, women were not allowed to have such apprenticeships. Women gained knowledge of domestic skills through their mother, as it was assumed that the women would marry. Some women would work respectably as: servants, laundresses, seamstresses, cooks, and food vendors—or not respected as prostitutes. Men directed the lives of family members and apprentices: deciding occupations for sons, marriages for daughters, etc. Women (the wives) were responsible for: food, clothing...

...The Civil War marked a major turning point in economic, political, and social status’ of Northern and Southern populations during the 1860’s due to differing levels of resources and support for the opposing sides. It was a central event in history that truly sparked consciousness in America. While the Revolution of 1776 created the United States, the Civil War of 1861-1865 determined what kind of nation it would be. The war resolved two fundamental questions left unresolved by the revolution: whether the United States was to be a dissolvable union of independent states or an indivisible nation with a dominant national government; and whether this nation, born on a declaration that all men were created with an equal right to liberty, would continue to exist as the largest slaveholding country in the world. During the war, the Southern and Northern economic statuses were exponentially different. The North was experiencing a time of great economic growth as industries began to grow and newer, more modern technology became available. By 1860, about 90 percent of the nation’s manufacturing came from the northern states which proved to have an immense impact on its war-winning ability. For every 100 firearms produced by the South, the North had made 3,200. The South on the other hand remained predominantly based in agriculture and the dwindling slave market. Even in the agricultural sector, Northern farmers were out-producing their southern counterparts in several important areas,...

...a strike was a lawful weapon. 2) "cult of domesticity"-brought both benefits and costs to middle-class women. It allowed them to live lives of greater material comfort than in the past, it placed higher value on their “female virtues” and on their roles as wife and mother. 3) Cyrus McCormick-invented the automatic reaper. The reaper enabled one worker to harvest as much wheat in a day as five could harvest using older methods. He patented this device in 1834, established a factory in Chicago in the heartland of the greenbelt in 1847. By 1860 more than 1000,000 reapers were in use on western farms. 4) Erie Canal-was the greatest construction project the United States had ever undertaken. It was a ditch forty feet wide and four feet deep with tow paths along the banks. It had difficult cuts and fills which were required to enable the canal to pass through hills and over valleys, stone aqueducts were necessary to carry it across streams and eighty-eight locks of heavy masonry with great wooden gates were needed to permit ascents and descents. It became an immediate financial success. 5) Factory System—most of the manufacturing occurred in households with people making things by hand or simple machines, technology improved. Entrepreneurs begin to make use of new and larger machines driven by water power that allowed them to bring textile operations together under one roof. The factory system spread rapidly in the 1820’s. 6) Know-Nothings-a strict code of secrecy...

The Daniell cell was a great improvement over the existing technology used in the early days of battery development. A later variant of the Daniell cell called the gravity cell or crowfoot cell was invented in the 1860s by a Frenchman named Callaud and became a popular choice for electrical telegraphy. The Daniell cell is a type of electrochemical cell invented in 1836 by John Frederic Daniell, a British chemist and meteorologist, and consisted of a copper pot filled with a copper sulfate solution, in which was immersed an unglazed earthenware container filled with sulfuric acid and a zinc electrode. He was searching for a way to eliminate the hydrogen bubble problem found in the voltaic pile, and his solution was to use a second electrolyte to consume the hydrogen produced by the first. Zinc sulfate may be substituted for the sulfuric acid. The Daniell cell was a great improvement over the existing technology used in the early days of battery development.

Though some scholars argue that the U.S. was already steering toward industrial prominence since the early 1800s, the majority agree that last three decades prior to the 1920s witnessed an incredible surge in economic growth that heralded America’s supremacy thereafter. By 1900, over $3.4 billion in foreign wealth fueled the economy of the US.Of course, a comparison of England’s and America’s progress in industrialization is wanted, and would yield points that support the main thesis. One way to understand the rapid growth of American industries as opposed to English industries is to view the industrial revolution as a seamless international phenomenon. In this view, England’s early advancements in industrial technology paved the way for other nations to bypass serendipitous error and speculative trial. Innovators such as Lewis Paul in the textile industry, Abraham Darby in the metal industry, James Watt in the energy (steam power) industry highlight this point. These Englishmen no doubt...

Statistical charts and graphs were utilized by Florence Nightingale for the support of her theory as the first nursing theory. For example, her theory related to a positive, clean environment. In 1859, Florence Nightingale published a small book called Notes on Nursing, relating to how to take care of babies (Florence Nightingale). Florence Nightingale was responsible for providing a new image for female nurses as a profession. She opened the Nightingale School of Nursing, the first formal nurse training program. For example, the Nightingale Training School was opened in 1860, and modern nursing was created (Florence Nightingale). She also reformed midwife practices and established a health visitor service in Britain. Timeline: 1860- Florence Nightingale: Manipulating the client’s environment facilitates the body’s reparative processes. 1952- Hildegard Peplau: Nursing is a therapeutic interpersonal process. 1955- Henderson: The needs often called Henderson’s 14 basic needs. 1960- Faye Abdellah: The nursing theory describes delivering of nursing care for the whole person.

...could be looked at as more of an art of engineering than that of war else. Implements of war were designed to be disassembled and moved over large distances with the assistance of horse teams. These devices included things such as the catapult, onager, trebuchet, and ballista. While these pieces are far from what artillery has become today they are still commonly considered by historians to be ancient artillery. With these ancient mechanical devices, the outcome of a battle could often be quickly decided. It was not until the development of gunpowder that artillery began to move away from the larger mechanical pieces to the devastating cannons of today. While gunpowder played a key role in the modernization of artillery, the rifling of the bore (barrel) also played a huge role. “Rifling had been tried on small arms in the 15th Century. The machinery used to accurately rifle the barrel of a cannon did not arrive until the 19th Century. Cavelli, Wahrendorff, and Whitworth all independently produced rifled cannon in the 1840’s, but these guns did not see widespread use until the latter stages of the American Civil War, when designs such as the various caliber Rodman guns came to prominence.” (The Dynamics of Military Revolution) With rifled barrels came the ability to achieve a precision that was very hard to accomplish prior to this innovation. It was already know that causing a projectile from a weapon...

...HIST 1301 11/25/2013 Title: Clark, Victor S. “The Influence of Manufactures Upon Political Sentiment in the United States From 1820 to 1860.” The American Historical Review, 22 (October 1916): 58-64. Purpose: Victor S. Clark outlines the economic influences of the expansion of manufactures upon the political sentiment in America before the Civil War. He discusses the role of political institutions in the shaping of our economic progress, with the intent to show that the rise in manufactures in the United States during this time brought a stronger form of centralized government that would favor an increase in public intervention of the ecomic activities of individuals. Ultimately he encourages us to believe this was one of the main causes for Civil War in the US during this time. Summary: In the few decades before the Civil War, many Americans relied primarily on the household goods they could produce or acquire locally. Without the need for regulation of these small items, sentiment in the United States leaned towards the idea that people could manage these tasks on their own. However, after the revolution these attitudes began to change with the rise in manufactures and the expansion towards the south. Crops such as tobacco, sugar, and cotton were just a few of the commodities that people in the US and overseas desired for. Inevitably, this caused people to rethink where power should lie to maintain the idea that equality existed among the entire population. From start...

...American Technology Brandi Harbin HIS 204 American History Since 1865 Max Fassnacht August 20, 2012 American Technology: Physical and Intellectual Isolation's End The era of the 1860s through the 20th century was full of political drama, warfare, violence surrounding civil rights and economic problems. Despite all of these pitfalls, America still had times of prosperity and hope. One of the areas in which the United States of America saw evolution and growth, despite all the socio-economic/socio-cultural issues, post-war wake, and man's inhumanity to man, was in the sphere of technology. Technology propelled the nation through these tumultuous times, and the ripples from this century and a half of America's history are still felt strongly today in the American market. The government's involvement in researching alternative methods of power has had a positive effect on the environment and, with time, the U.S. will increase its influence around the world. In addition to the political influences of technology, the commercial economy has also been enhanced through the research of various innovations, and individual families have been affected by advancements in healthcare, which is heavily dependent on the latest high-end machinery. Without a doubt, technological innovation is the cornerstone of the foundation which supports America's end of physical and intellectual isolation and the country's continuing involvement with technological evolution. Because finances and human...

...From 1815 to 1860, the position of women in the United States changed drastically. They, of course, did not receive voting rights until the 19th amendment in 1920. This was about a century after they began their mighty fight for their rights. The “Second Great Awakening” opened many distinct doors for different people, and some of those were women. Women were seen as much more superior than men because they taught the people in their household about religion and educated them, they also began working in mills and fighting hard for others rights, and, most important of all, the found the strength to fight for their own rights. During this time, women had gained roles in churches. They were now able to be a part of the church. Women had to teach their children, especially their sons since they were the future of the country, religion and morals. Although women had been appointed by God to be the “first...
