This is a painting by Marlyn Boyd. The core of nursing emphasizes the facilitation of healing, prevention of complications, and the promotion of health. In addition it also address psychosocial and spiritual needs of the patient. This painting symbolizes the care-based approach to nursing. Caring is central to the helping relationship between a nurse and patient. Through this approach patients are treated with dignity and respect. I chose this painting because I felt it reflects the kindness, attentiveness, empathy and compassion.
