It is crucial to note that the term health and wellness is a relative term when it comes to assessing a patient’s health. The nurse differentiates a patient with critical conditions from minor injuries. The nurse defines a person’s health thus the patient’s genetic factors, emotional, spiritual and intellectual wellness. As an ER nurse one deals with biological, psychosocial and cultural needs of a patient to provide an environment that impacts the patient’s illness and recovery.
