2. A nurse is reviewing literature that sanctions the involvement of psychiatric–mental health nurses in the
provision of holistic nursing care. Integrating knowledge of the various theories and views of mental health and
illness, the nurse identifies which as most strongly linked to this holistic approach?
C
A) Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory
B) Florence Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing
AR
C) Lavinia Lloyd Dock’s Materia Medica for Nurses
D) Clifford Beers’ A Mind That Found Itself
E
ANS: B
Feedback:
The American Nurses Association’s Statement on Psychiatric Nursing Practice (1967) officially sanctioned a
holistic approach to nursing care for the first time. The roots of this contemporary psychiatric–mental health
nursing thought can be traced to Florence Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing, which presented a holistic view of
the patient, with the view of the patient as living within a family and community. Freud’s psychoanalytic theory
focused on personality development and unconscious motivations for drives. Beers’ autobiography described
the inhumane treatments used for mental illness, which led to the formation of a National Committee for Mental
Hygiene.

B) The biologic understanding of mental illness was almost fully developed.
