- Authors
Vincent Balang, R.
- Abstract
Professional nursing practice can be demonstrated by nurses through their abilities to relate and translate their knowledge and comprehension of patient pathophysiology into the patient observation, treatment selection, research and patient safety and forms. The acquisition of physiological knowledge provides scientific and holistic justifications for nurses to deliver evidence-based care which they can rationalise all their nursing actions and formulate individualised nursing care to patients systematically. In other words, the possession of an adequate physiological knowledge supports nurses’ accountability and autonomy in their day-to-day practices. Furthermore, the ability to coalesce the body of physiological knowledge in nurses’ practices enhance their communication with multiple professions eloquently, promotes patient/family trust in nurses which it is the basis for building trusting relationships with patients and their families. Thus, the physiological knowledge provision in the nursing curriculum in a tenacity manner is the paramount in the nursing education to equip future nurses with exceptional critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills when performing patient centred care.
