Author Gives Holistic Care for Patients a New Meaning

The book is full of guides, tips and insights on how spiritual care can be inserted as part of a patient’s holistic care. “An Administrator’s Guide to Implementing Spiritual Care into Nursing Practice” is a very insightful book written by author Bonnie Weaver Battey. The author also points out that imposing one’s OWN beliefs and values about spirituality is professionally and ethically inappropriate. Spiritual care involves listening for the frame of reference of the client and their respective families to determine how spirituality can be their support in health concerns. The author shares how it can help the patients in their eventual healing, but careers also need to know their spiritual calling as well.
 
“An Administrator’s Guide to Implementing Spiritual Care into Nursing Practice” is highly recommended to those who are planning or are currently in the nursing care business. The book is very well-written and complete with insights and tips for a better and complete holistic healing of patients under care. The topic, spirituality, is a very sensitive one as it deals with diverse religions and beliefs and must be dealt with proper handling and care.
