Abstract

Theoretical frameworks serve as the basis for best nursing practice. This paper aims to highlight the importance of environmental theory on person’s health, and application and evaluation of Florence’s nightingale Environmental theory in the recovery of the patient suffering from tuberculosis. Florence Nightingale’s Environmental theory was used to critically review and manage a clinical case scenario of a tuberculosis patient, and Walker and Avant (2011) theory evaluation criteria was used to evaluate it. Nightingale demarcated different canons of an environment including ventilation, light, noise, cleanliness of walls, bed and bedding, personal cleanliness, and taking food, etc. to describe the application of her theory. She emphasized that nurses should manipulate and mediate the patient’s environment by taking care of all these cannons to restore their standard health or bring into recovery. Application of this theory yields a positive impact on patient’s health, ensures the speedy recovery from illness and promotes individual comfort. It has clinical implication and a significant role in a patient’s recovery. Nurses should apply this theory while dealing with their patient.
