being of elders. She would challenge the
widely held belief that provision of care to
this population consists only of bed and body
care that can be effectively delivered by non-
professional staff.
She would applaud the movement toward
advanced nursing practice but would proba-
bly envision it as a means for highly educated
nurses to use their expertise more effectively
in providing direct patient care outside the
hospital. She would encourage advanced prac-
tice nurses to continue to develop knowledge
related to the nursing discipline and the
unique contribution of nursing to the health
of people. And she would identify commu-
nity nursing organizations as an opportunity
for nurses to coordinate and deliver continu-
ity of care in the ambulatory setting and in
the home.
Finally, she would urge nurses to recapture
the aspects of nursing practice that have been
relinquished to others—those nurturing as-
pects that, according to Hall (1963a), provide
the opportunity for nurses to establish ther-
apeutic, humanistic relationships with pa-
tients and make it possible for them to work
together toward recovery.References
