Summary

 

Myra Levine's Conservation Model focuses on conserving an individual's wholeness. Her framework includes four "Conservation Principles:" Energy, structural integrity, personal integrity, and social integrity. She describes three environments that present challenges to the individual: Perceptual, operational, and conceptual. She coined a word, "trophicognosis" to describe the nurse's judgments about the patient's condition.
