title: [Finding the original meaning of nursing care].
abstract: At the end of the 20th century, a return to the true origin of health care appears, even though this has occurred only in a few services such as those which care for the elderly; when nurses confront dilemmas related to the fundamental questions of life and death; or before the impotence of some treatments, for example AIDS. In a parallel vein, work carried out over these past few years allows us to find the roots of health care and to recuperate its original meaning. Care and treatment are universal and all appear and are elaborated around the two great moments in life: birth and death.
