Why is nursing an ART?

Nursing is itself an art.

It can be drama, it can be
dialogue, it can be a
comedy. The patient can
be viewed as an
inspiration to and
participant in the art of
nursing.
NURSING AS AN ART ART MEANS
The nurse who feeds a patient who has
suffered a stroke,

may try gently with confident gestures to

feed him slowly enough
as to give him time to swallow,

by doing that task carefully without

dirtying his clothes.

In talking to him the nurse

can instill in the patient’s heart,

hope and determination

to strive for a rapid recovery.

philosophical, mental, social
and scientific values of every epoch".
