The book explains an analysis of the lengthy procedures carried out, which included the

legitimizing of the proficient function distinctiveness for registered and qualified medical

practitioners. It also includes the evaluation of the preliminary articles over time. The authors

reveal that they hypothesized five means of legitimizing a unique function of the specialized

identity: These ways include; accepting what is in the past, standardizing updated meanings and

understandings, changing individuality referents, relating with the environment of the institution,

and finally consulting the specialists, which is contrary to the past studies that only concentrated

on the unique activities. The writers state that certain contributions towards the formal works are

present as a result of showing the legitimizing a specialized function uniqueness. It needs a rising

development of the latest opinions does not recognize the past. Additionally, the results show that

Part 2.Use of Selected Theory in the Nursing Practice.

Florence Nightingale the founder of environment theory emphasized that the environment

of a patient is one of the factors that can either lead to a fast recover or slow down the recovery

process of a sick person. A healthy environment is necessary to apply appropriate nursing care.

She states: "That there are five essential points to ensure health: pure air, pure water, effective

drainage, cleaning and light ".Taking this in consideration, I think this select theory can be

widely used in my nursing practice for instance while caring an asthmatic patient. Asthma is a

chronic disease characterized for development of acute shortness of breath .This disease is

closely related in its physiopathology in an excessively immunological response to the

environment changes. These adverse reactions to changes in the environment such as pollen,

humidity, and clime might be some times modified or prevented the exposure to this kind of

patient .Nurse not only must take these environmental factors to best recover the asthma crisis

but also to teach the patient to avoid exposure to them to prevent the attacks.
