The American Nurses Association's Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice (3rd ed.) discusses integrating the art and science of nursing. Describe how science and art are synthesized in the practice ... of nursing. How is art and science synthesized in the nursing practice? Well, ideally a well-rounded nurse is one who can weigh both equally. Often, you need the art to get to the science. With regard to the professional nursing practice, a nurse should build on the art by establishing their clients trust, showing compassion, being responsive to their needs. The art of nursing is all about the qualities you enact on to your patient. Generally, the science aspect falls along the line of critical thinking; this helps to obtain the patients goal you are seeking. Its premise evolves around questions like what's wrong with your client? Why are they here? What information do you have to support your plan of care? Evolving around treating and making nurses diagnoses to the human response (ANA, 2010), the art and science of nursing both work hand in hand and is essential with patient care. For instance, I work with cancer patients, these particular clients sometimes don't have the greatest prognosis (of course sometimes great). Nonetheless, all aspects of their treatment plan is important e.g radiation/chemotherapy. A nurse takes all aspects of their care seriously, i.e. explain their plan of care in a way that they are going to understand. It is about being responsive, putting one's self in the background and focus solely on how you are going to put a plan of care into action. (Johnson,2016) further indicates the key components of information, education and support to the person with who has been diagnosed with cancer and the barriers a nurse may cross in diverse practice settings. So, incorporating the integral aspects of both the art and science in your standards of practice again are the key components to the scope and standards. American Nurses Association. (2010).
