Final thoughts. “A caring nurse who focuses on the unitary evolving pattern of the whole makes it possible for clients to experience the insight and peace of being fully present in the midst of what appear to be disruptive forces. By being fully present one can relax in the truth of the situation and allow it to reveal its meaning. Transformation occurs as clients are able to see their place in the expanding consciousness of all that there is. This wisdom is one of the increasing degrees of freedom to be truly oneself” (Newman, 2007, p. 204)..
