The way I understand ethical holism is that it focuses not on certain individuals, but rather on the bigger picture. The welfare of the species overall is what matters. If an individual is killed and as a consequence no harm is done to the species itself, then killing can be justified. Maintaining the species is important and crucial in order for our planet’s ecology to prosper and a death of single individual might not seem so significant, unless the species is endangered. I think that’s where…

Then, he introduced the second concept…

Nursing is the professionalization of the human capacity to care because of therapeutic nurse- client relationships and their importance (O'Connell & Landers, 2008) (Yu, 2014), their altruistic characteristics (Gormley, 1996), and the nurse as a holistic being (Archibald, 2012).

This concept can often be seen as an expression through a visual concept known as the Medicine Wheel. The Medicine Wheel is a modern holistic concept with the intention of representing the Anishnaabe…
