Introduction

Holistic nursing care is crucial for driving positive health outcomes because it considers the whole person, including their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. This comprehensive approach allows for more personalized care, leading to better patient satisfaction and improved health outcomes. For Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) nurses, understanding holistic nursing care is vital as it equips nurses with the skills to provide comprehensive care, enhancing their ability to promote health and wellness effectively. Furthermore, a solid understanding of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment is essential in providing evidence-based holistic nursing care. Together, these elements enable nurses to develop a comprehensive care plan that addresses all aspects of a patient’s health, thereby promoting holistic care and improving patient outcomes.
