Abstract :

As the rate of chronic illness in the general population rises, the emphasis toward guiding our patients to wellness becomes greater. The concept of health stewardship and responsibility for self is a shift toward individual choice to take better care of oneself rather than to leave decision-making to providers and caregivers. Desiring the best health outcome regardless of our patientâ??s health situation is nursingâ??s primary goal. Exploring health stewardship as a path to wellness will help providers guide patients to reach their potential health.
