Man is a biologically, spiritually, socially and psychologically indivisible unit whose needs are an inherent part of his nature.
Nursing is primarily concerned with human life and the quality of health of the individual, family, group or community.
Health is an integral part of the overall development of man, influenced by socio-cultural, biological, and environmental factors.
