The document provides information about Florence Nightingale's environmental theory of nursing. It discusses Nightingale's background and experiences that influenced the development of her theory. Her theory emphasized five key components of a healthy environment: pure air, pure water, efficient drainage, cleanliness, and light. Nightingale believed the environment had a significant impact on health and used empirical evidence from her work in the Crimean War to support this. Her theory was influential in establishing nursing as a profession and remains applicable today in areas like infection control and health education.

1. Pure fresh air - "to keep the air he breathes as pure
as the external air without chilling him.“
2. Pure water - "well water of a very impure kind is used
for domestic purposes. And when epidemic
disease shows itself, persons using such water
are almost sure to suffer.“
3. Effective drainage - "all the while the sewer maybe
nothing but a laboratory from which epidemic disease
and ill health is being installed into the house."

consists in preserving cleanliness.“
