Holistic Nursing Care Assignment: Evidence-Based Patient Safety Interventions
Nurses employ evidence-based interventions to promote care quality and maintain patient
safety. They integrate holistic interventions into care processes to address a client's spiritual,
emotional, social, and physical needs. These interventions foster personalized care, improving
patient outcomes and increasing patient satisfaction.
Nurses should understand holistic care concepts to enhance their skills, offer
comprehensive care, and promote health and wellness among clients. Moreover, these
professionals should understand how certain healthcare concepts like pathophysiology,
pharmacology, and physical assessment intersect with holistic care, supporting nurses in
delivering safe and quality care. Flarey and Katz (2024) clarified that comprehension of these
concepts enables nurses to create inclusive care plans that incorporate all aspects of a person’s
health.
Definition of Holistic Nursing Care
Holistic nursing care is a broad care delivery approach that incorporates physical,
spiritual, psychological, and social needs. Ambushe et al. (2023) clarified that holistic care
recognizes the interconnectedness of all aspects of human life. Holistic nursing care practices
include extensive patient assessment, treatment goal setting, using different treatment techniques,
and incorporating complementary interventions. Comprehensive patient assessment helps nurses
gather relevant information about their physical, psychological, spiritual, and developmental
status (Flarey & Katz, 2024). The nurse further collaborates with the patient and the family to
develop achievable wellness goals and suggest tactics to achieve them. Moreover, the nurse can
integrate complementary interventions such as yoga, massage therapy, and homeopathy to
achieve the intended wellness.
