Nursing with the concept of wholism

Nursing with the concept of wholism means that during the rehabilitation nursing period, nursing staff should understand thoroughly the mutual relationships among various viscera and tissues of the human body and consider the roles which the seasonal climatic changes, social environment, etc. Play in the rehabilitation of diseases, and that only in this way can the somatopsychic health be restored to the greatest extent in the patient so that he will return to society as soon as possible.

Nursing in conformity to seasonal changes

Man lives in nature and is closely related to nature. Seasonal changes with summer going and winter coming during a year, etc. All can unavoidably influence the ascension and descension of yin and yang, circulation of qi and blood and visceral asthenia and sthenia of the human body. Rehabilitation nursing should conform to the natural law to arrange reasonable nursing. For example, in summer, the rehabilitation ward should be well-ventilated, cooled and the cold color light and curtain installed to achieve the cool and comfortable feeling; in winter, attention should be paid to the prevention of cold and heat preservation, and the ward should be equipped with the warm color light and curtain; in spring, yang qi rises and ask the patient to have more outdoor activities; in the scorching summer, it is advisable for people to have activities in the shade of trees and indoors to avoid profuse perspiration and prevent sunstroke due to consumption of qi and yin; in autumn and winter, yang qi contracts internally and yin and essence are in storage interiorly. Therefore, large amount of exercise is not advisable to prevent the consumption of essence and qi.
