Rationale: This quote reflects a historical view of nursing as facilitating natural healing, attributed to Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. In her 1859 work, *Notes on Nursing*, she emphasized optimizing the patient's environment cleanliness, air, and rest for recovery. Henderson defined nursing through 14 basic needs, Watson focused on caring theory, and Rogers developed a science of unitary beings none match this phrasing. Nightingale's philosophy shaped nursing's focus on holistic care, influencing practice for centuries by prioritizing patient conditions over direct intervention.
