-Nursing Situation is the locus of all that known and done in nursing
and is conceptualized as “the shared, lived and experience in which
caring between nurse and nursed enhances personhood”.
• Personhood
• Caring Between
-When the nurse enters the world of the other person with the intention
of knowing the other as caring person, the encountering of the nurse
and the one nursed gives rise to the phenomenon of caring between,
within which personhood is nurtured.
• Nursing Response
-In responding to the nursing call, the nurse enters the nursing situation
with the intention of knowing the other person as caring. This knowing of
person clarifies the call for nursing and shapes the nursing response,
transforming the knowledge brought by the situation from general, to
particular and unique.
