Comprehensive care: looking beyond the presenting problem.

چکیده

beyond an isolated concern. APNs with a Christian worldview carefully address concerns for spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. Jesus made it clear our concern should be on more than what meets the eye. When Jesus healed the paralyzed man let down through the roof by his friends (Mark 2:1-12), he saw their faith and said, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Then he physically healed the man. Jesus healed people’s presenting physical complaint but also was a bridge to care for their long-term spiritual needs as well. APNs can follow Jesus’ model of addressing the presenting complaint and using that as a bridge to care for patients’ overall concerns. It is exciting to consider the impact each nurse can have on the long-term health promotion of patients. APNs have the chance to reflect Christlikeness to each patient through compassionate interactions. Although the number of patients to care for each day may be extensive, the names in those lines represent individuals Christ has called us to love and serve. At each visit, we are given a glimpse into the individual’s unique health needs. This provides opportunities to provide holistic, comprehensive care for the individual. In this mindset, we are able to impact the chronic diseases that plague our society resulting from unhealthy choices. The impact can be endless.
