The ideal care is protection of human dignity that is enrooted in our conception. It is very important to respect also other principles for the sense of respecting the human dignity such as autonomy, fairness, helpfullness, respect and anonymity.
Nursing is a culture going through historical evolution. Understanding history helps us develop spiritual and moral awareness.
