The first rule of nursing is to keep the air a patient breathes as pure as the outside air without chilling him
Drawn from what Florence Nightingale said
What Florence Nightingale actually said
- Florence Nightingale English social reformer and statistician (1820 to 1910)
The very first canon of nursing, the first and the last thing upon which a nurse's attention must be fixed, the first essential to a patient, without which all the rest you can do for him is as nothing, with which I had almost said you may leave all the rest alone, is this: TO KEEP THE AIR HE BREATHES AS PURE AS THE EXTERNAL AIR, WITHOUT CHILLING HIM.
