Feedback: Hippocrates, born about 400 BC, was a Greek citizen who became known as the
Father of Modern Medicine. He emphasized natural causes for disease, a patient-centered
approach, and the necessity of accurate observations and record keeping. These priorities
influenced the practice of medicine both in Greece and beyond. Persia was known to utilize
slaves as physicians, and Rome borrowed medical practices from the countries it conquered.
Ancient India emphasized hygiene and prevention of sickness and described major and minor
surgery, childrens diseases, and diseases of the nervous and urinary systems. Medicine men were
characteristic of the Mayan and Aztec civilizations.

Feedback: Florence Nightingale, in her Notes on Nursing: What It Is and What It Is Not,
described the nurses role as one that would put the patient in the best condition for nature to act
.m
upon him (Nightingale, 1954, p. 133), a definition that often is quoted today. This action was
prioritized over physically assisting the patient. Watson emphasized the spiritual subjective

aspects of the nurse and the patient, and the open systems concept is central to Kings theory of
w
nursing.

Feedback: As nursing has grown into a true profession, many nursing theorists have developed
ep
definitions of nursing consistent with their conceptual frameworks; these frameworks provide the
foundation for any given definition of nursing. The historical emergence of nursing did not take
pr
place at one particular time, and there are multiple definitions of nursing. While nursing and
medicine indeed differ, the distinctions between the two professions are not always clear.
