Although Florence Nightingale may have addressed meeting the psychological needs of her clients, it is

not the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodys reparative processes
l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8
by manipulating the clients environment.

l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8

Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she interacted with
l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8
her clients by reading to them, her theory of nursing care did not focus upon interpersonal interactions.

4Requirement for continuing education units (CEU) in Massachusetts l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l

Although most states have similar practice acts, each individual state has its own Nurse Practice Act that
l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8
regulates the licensure and practice of nursing within that state. Knowledge of the Nurse Practice Act is
l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8
necessary to provide safe and legal nursing care. Standards of nursing practice are not specific to a city,
l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8
but rather to the profession itself. Although the clinical ladder of mobility may be of interest in regard to
l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8 l8
professional advancement, it is not the most important factor when practicing nursing in another state.

Knowledge of the Nurse Practice Act in order to provide safe and legal nursing care is of higher importa
