Since the time of Nightingale, the phenomena of health, person, nursing, and environment have been considered central to nursing. However, of all the concepts, environment appears to have been the least explored, practiced, and researched. Nursing education does not adequately prepare nurses to understand the impact of the environment on health or to implement environmental interventions. This 2-part series is designed to assist faculty in teaching this content. Part 1 provides historical background, the role of nursing, a basic curriculum, and student learning activities.
