JNUR_V4_N4_CS1 Zohra Asif Jetha Journal on Nursing 2231–4504 4 4 32 36 Nurse, Environment, Health Promotion, Nursing Practice, Holistic Care The word ‘care’ is very much associated with nursing profession, because Nurses are not only responsible to facilitate in curative care. However, they are also responsible to provide holistic care and healthy environment to promote patient recovery. This paper is discussed in the light of Florence Nightingale's theory on environment in the relation of concepts in nursing practices. Her theory has more of a focus on health promotion than a curative focus. She has focused in her theory four main assumptions, for example, Nursing, Person, Health and environment and their association with each other. A small effort by a nurse can help to improve the patient's health and decrease the burden of disease. November 2014 - January 2015 Copyright © 2015 i-manager publications.
