A student of nursing history understands Nightingale's use of the term "art" when describing nursing as having what context?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nightingale viewed nursing as an art and, as such, the various roles in nursing as multilayered and fluid defined by the context and demands of the environment in which that nurse works.Although care activities were often driven by experience ("tried and true")and there was little scientific knowledge on which to base nursing actions, these are not the main reason for the use of the term "art." Patient preference has just begun to be incorporated into evidence-based practice.
