About this book

Fresh air, clean rooms and careful attention to a patient's surroundings lie at the centre of Florence Nightingale's account of nursing. Addressing women who care for children or invalids, she offers prompts for thought drawn from daily care in homes and hospitals. Her chapters move through ventilation, warmth, noise, food, bedding, light and observation, treating small arrangements as matters that can affect a sick person's comfort and recovery.

The detail is often domestic and concrete: dust should be removed rather than scattered, furniture should be easy to wipe, and the materials used for walls and floors deserve scrutiny. Nightingale connects these household choices with wider questions of building design and management.
