Her view of the ENVIRONMENT

Her view of the ENVIRONMENT
by Group E's Ed Mamita, Jr.

The environment is implicitly defined by Abdella as the home or community from which patient comes. Society is included in "Planning for Optimum Health on Local, State, Natural and International levels". However, as Abdellah further delineated her ideas, the focus of nursing service is clearly individual or the patient. People who fit into society are more likely to be more content.

Hence, to achieve optimum health, the individual should seek knowledge and receive education regarding health through their communities.
