Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central concepts of nursing include involving the family in client care, assessing the client's support system, respecting the client's autonomy and individuality, advocating for the client, and addressing all aspects of their health and wellness. This includes physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and environmental factors. Asking clients to define their own meaning of health and well-being is an important aspect of client-centered care. Prioritizing cost over appropriate wound care supplies goes against the ethical principles of nursing.
