Abstract
Providing clinical nursing care to a patient with a heart disease requires the application of the knowledge of disease process which informs the nursing intervention. This paper presents a discussion on some priority aspects of
clinical care for the patient with heart failure from the perspective of nursing care as summarized in the figure below. A brief summative overview of the disease process and the central concept in heart failure as fundamental to the conceptualization of clinical care needs for a patient with heart failure was presented. Application of the framework of the nursing process in providing clinical nursing care for a patient with a heart disease and the application of ethical principles were discussed. Thus, competent and therefore safe clinical care for a patient with heart failure requires
comprehensive nursing care which embraces both the scientific approach and ethics of care
