Answer preview
Smith & Parker, 2015 have disclosed that disease prevention might be attained via environmental controls. It is clear that the environmental faces of Nightingale’s theory remain essential parts of current nursing care. Nightingale’s theory is applicable to all conditions in which nursing care is offered. When utilizing Nightingale’s environmental theory concepts associated to cleanliness, noise, light and pure air might be deployed across certain environments. In addition to this, Nightingale’s environmental theory has directed intrusions toward modulating the environment. Nightingale’s work has assisted nurses come up with interventions which lead to restructuring of the environment (Smith & Parker, 2015). One of the barriers to using Nightingale’s theory is that the theorist does not deal with interpersonal associations specifically but does speak regarding the requirement for the nurse to consider what she talks about around the patient.
