Wisdom and falsehoods: naming the practice wisdom of nursing in the home and the falsehoods opposing that practice

Article Abstract:

Nursing care provided in the patient's home continues to lose status and funding. Hospice nurses, public health nurses, visiting nurses and other nurses practicing in similar ways have been part of U.S. health care for over 100 years. They have developed enormous stores of information and wisdom about caring for patients. Funding continues to be cut because of lies about the effects of home care. These include beliefs that it does not work, that illness is the fault of the patient, that home care creates dependency and many other falsehoods.
